EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the East Gate of the Great Stupa of Sanchi, a remarkable ancient stone structure in India. Commissioned by Emperor Ashoka in the 2nd century BC, this gate stands as an important monument of Indian architecture and a testament to the rich history of Buddhism. The image transports us back to 1890 when it was captured for "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" by Edmund Ollier. The monochrome tones add a sense of timelessness, allowing us to appreciate the intricate carvings on the gate's surface. Surrounded by lush greenery and set against a clear sky, this photograph captures not only the grandeur of the stupa but also its serene surroundings. In the foreground, we see people going about their day near this historic site, adding depth and scale to the composition. As we gaze at this image, our eyes are drawn to an elephant gracefully carved into one side of the entrance. This detail reminds us that animals played an integral role in Buddhist art and symbolism. Overall, this print offers a glimpse into both ancient India's architectural marvels and its vibrant cultural heritage. It serves as a visual reminder that even centuries later, these structures continue to inspire awe and reverence among those who visit them today.
