EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historical city of Shah Jehanabad, also known as New Delhi, India. The engraving, created by John Brandard in the 19th century, takes us back to a time when Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan ruled over this magnificent land. Shah Jahan's reign from 1628 to 1658 marked a significant era in Indian history. In an effort to establish his power and leave behind a lasting legacy, he decided to transfer his capital from Agra to Delhi in 1648. This decision led to the creation of Shahjahanabad - a city that would later become what we now know as Old Delhi. The image captures the essence of this vibrant city with its stunning architecture and ruins scattered throughout. As our eyes wander through the scene, we notice soldiers standing tall with spears in hand, guarding their beloved land. Amidst all this grandeur lies a seated figure - perhaps representing Shah Jahan himself or another important dignitary. Their presence adds an air of authority and contemplation amidst the bustling landscape. The inclusion of Sikhs within the engraving highlights the diverse cultural fabric that has shaped India for centuries. It serves as a reminder that even during tumultuous times, unity can be found among different communities. As we delve into this mesmerizing artwork captured by Ken Welsh and made available by Fine Art Finder, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance. It is through such images that we are
