EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to 1866, capturing the mesmerizing interior of the Great Quadrangle in Futtypore Sikri, India. The lens of Samuel Bourne, a talented English photographer, skillfully frames this architectural marvel with precision. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly Sheik Selim Chisti's Tomb. Standing proudly amidst intricate carvings and delicate arches, it exudes an aura of serenity and spirituality. The tomb's grandeur is accentuated by its central location within the quadrangle. Bourne's choice to use albumen silver print adds depth and richness to every detail captured in this photograph. From the subtle play of light on stone surfaces to the fine textures etched into each column, every element comes alive through his lens. Fatehpur Sikri itself was once a thriving Mughal city but now stands as a testament to history frozen in time. This print serves as a visual portal for viewers today to step into that era and experience its splendor firsthand. As we gaze upon this remarkable composition, we are reminded not only of Bourne's exceptional talent but also of our own connection with history. It prompts us to appreciate both the beauty found in architecture and photography alike while igniting our curiosity about distant lands and cultures that have shaped our world.
