EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Golden Temple in Amritsar, India, circa 1925. Serving as the primary shrine of the Sikh religion, this architectural marvel was constructed between 1588 and 1601 under the guidance of Guru Anjan, the fifth Sikh Guru. The image captures a serene view of the temple, exuding an aura of tranquility amidst its surroundings. The photograph is presented on a collectible cigarette card produced by Westminster Tobacco Co Ltd as part of their Indian Empire series. It offers a glimpse into British Raj-era India during the early 20th century when such cards were popular among collectors. The composition highlights not only the grandeur of the Golden Temple but also its reflection in a nearby lake, creating a mesmerizing visual effect. The monochrome tones add to its timeless appeal and evoke nostalgia for an era long gone. Amritsar's Golden Temple remains an iconic symbol of religious devotion and architectural brilliance even today. This print serves as a testament to its enduring significance within both Indian geography and religious history. Although we do not know who specifically captured this remarkable image or how it came into existence, we can appreciate it as an invaluable piece from our heritage that allows us to connect with India's rich cultural past.
