EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite beauty of the Marble Screen from the Tomb of Sheik Selim Chisti in Fatehpur Sikri, India. Taken by Samuel Bourne, an English photographer known for his stunning landscape images, this albumen silver print transports us back to 1866. The intricate details of the marble screen are brought to life through Bourne's expert lens. Every delicate carving and ornate pattern is visible, showcasing the mastery of Indian craftsmanship. The play of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to this architectural marvel. The tomb itself holds great significance as it is dedicated to Sheik Selim Chisti, a revered Sufi saint who lived during Emperor Akbar's reign. It is believed that visiting this tomb can bring blessings and fulfill wishes. Bourne's composition allows us to appreciate not only the grandeur of the screen but also its harmonious integration with its surroundings. The lush greenery serves as a backdrop, enhancing the serenity and spirituality emanating from this sacred place. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported across time and space into a world where artistry meets devotion. This photograph stands as a testament to both Bourne's skill behind the camera lens and India's rich cultural heritage captured within its frame.
