EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the grandeur of the Ajanta Caves in India. The image captures the intricate columns and exquisitely carved figures at the entrance of one of these ancient Buddhist cave monuments, specifically Cave 19. Dating back to the 5th century, these caves are a testament to India's rich cultural and religious history. The detailed carving work on display here is a reflection of the skill and craftsmanship that went into creating this architectural marvel. The photograph, taken by an anonymous French School artist in the 19th century, offers a glimpse into Indian civilization during that era. It was originally featured in Dr Gustave Le Bon's book "Les Civilisations de l'Inde" published by Librairie de Firmin-Didiot et Cie in Paris in 1887. This mesmerizing image transports viewers back to a time when Buddhism flourished in India, showcasing its influence on art and architecture. The serene beauty emanating from this photo invites contemplation about spirituality, culture, and history. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece as part of their private collection. Through their efforts, we can now appreciate and admire this stunning representation of one of India's most significant historical sites - Ajanta Caves - forever captured through rotogravure technique for generations to come.
