EDITORS COMMENTS
Bhurtpore - Old Palace in Fort, Late 1860s" is an exquisite albumen print captured by the renowned British photographer Samuel Bourne during the late 1860s. The photograph showcases the grandeur and intricacy of the Old Palace in Bhurtpore, Rajasthan, India. The Old Palace, also known as the Bharatpur Fort Palace, is a magnificent architectural marvel that stands as a testament to the rich heritage and history of the region. The image portrays the fortified palace facade, with its ornate arches, intricately carved pillars, and grandiose entrance. The fortifications surrounding the palace add an aura of strength and protection, while the lush greenery in the foreground provides a striking contrast to the stone structures. Bourne's masterful use of light and shadow enhances the textures and details of the palace, making it come alive in the photograph. The Old Palace in Bhurtpore was once the residence of the Maharajas of Bharatpur, and its grandeur reflects the power and wealth of the Rajput rulers of the region during the 19th century. The photograph is a valuable addition to the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), providing a glimpse into the architectural and historical significance of Bhurtpore and Hindoostan during the British colonial era. The image also serves as a reminder of the enduring influence of British photography on the documentation and preservation of global heritage and history. Bourne's photograph, "Bhurtpore - Old Palace in Fort, Late 1860s," is a stunning example of the power of photography to transport us to another time and place, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and history of the world around us.
