EDITORS COMMENTS
Ala-ud-Din's Gateway: A Glimpse into India's Rich Historical Past (19th Century Vintage Photograph) This vintage photograph, taken by the renowned British photographer Samuel Bourne in the late 1800s, showcases Ala-ud-Din's Gateway on the northern side of the Kutub Minar in Delhi, India. The image transports us back in time, offering a rare glimpse into the country's rich historical past. The Kutub Minar, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a 73-meter tall monument and minaret, built in 1206 AD. Ala-ud-Din's Gateway, also known as the 'Arch of Victory,' is a magnificent red sandstone and marble structure, which served as the entrance to the ancient city of Delhi. The photograph depicts two individuals, dressed in traditional Indian attire, standing near the gateway. The man, wearing a long robe and a turban, is likely a local resident or a member of the army, while the woman, clad in a long sari, is possibly a member of the royal household or a high-ranking official's wife. Their presence adds a sense of scale and context to the image, making it even more intriguing. The photograph was likely taken using the wet collodion or albumen process, popular during the Victorian era. The image's clarity and detail are a testament to Bourne's exceptional skills as a photographer. The photograph also provides a fascinating insight into the topography and culture of India during the British colonial era. The image's idyllic setting, with the river in the background, adds to its allure. The serene waterway, dotted with boats, contrasts beautifully with the grandeur of Ala-ud-Din's Gateway, creating a captivating tableau of India's historic past.
