EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Moguls, Delhi c. 1863" takes us back in time to the opulent era of 19th-century India. The image captures a prosperous Mogul family, their dignified presence exuding wealth and status. The father sits at the center of the composition, emanating authority and power. His regal attire reflects his noble lineage as a descendant of those who migrated to India during the Tartar and Toorky invasions. Surrounding him are his sons, each posed with grace and poise that befits their privileged upbringing. The formal portraiture style adds an air of sophistication to this snapshot from history. It allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of these individuals but also offers a glimpse into the cultural richness that thrived within Mogul society. Intriguingly, this photograph hints at both tradition and progress; while rooted in ancient customs, it also showcases early advancements in photography technology by Shepherd & Robertson - pioneers capturing moments for posterity. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print from a private collection, we can't help but marvel at its ability to transport us back through time. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Indian culture and reminds us of the grandeur that once graced Delhi's streets over 150 years ago.
