Delhi, The Lahore Gate and Fort, Late 1860s
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an exquisite black and white albumen print capturing the grandeur of the historic Lahore Gate and the Red Fort in Delhi, India, taken by renowned British photographer Samuel Bourne in the late 1860s. The image offers a glimpse into the rich heritage and architectural beauty of Hindustan during the nineteenth century. The Lahore Gate, also known as the Lal Qila Darwaza, is the southern entrance to the Red Fort, a historic fortification in the city of Delhi. The fort, which was the main residence of the Mughal Emperors, is a stunning example of Indo-Islamic architecture, with its red sandstone walls and intricate marble decorations. Bourne's photograph captures the imposing facade of the Lahore Gate, with its elaborate carvings and intricate designs, standing tall against the backdrop of the Red Fort. The gate's arched entrance, adorned with intricate floral and geometric patterns, invites the viewer to step inside and explore the wonders of the fort. The image also offers a glimpse into the bustling city of Delhi beyond the fort walls, with the hustle and bustle of daily life visible in the background. The use of black and white adds to the timeless quality of the photograph, transporting the viewer back to the nineteenth century and offering a window into the history of this fascinating city. This photograph is an important historical document, capturing the architectural and cultural heritage of India during the British colonial period. It is a valuable addition to any collection of historic photographs or those interested in the history and culture of India, and is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA).
