EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Delhi, Mausoleum of Sufdar Iung," was captured by renowned British photographer Samuel Bourne in the late 1860s. The image portrays the exterior of the magnificent Mausoleum of Safdar Jang, located in Delhi, India. The Mausoleum, also known as Safdarjung's Tomb, was built between 1732 and 1739 as a burial site for Mirza Muhammad Muqim Ali Khan, also known as Abul Mansur Mirza Safdar Jang, who served as the Subahdar (Governor) of Hindoostan under the Mughal Emperor Muhammad Shah. The architectural beauty of the Mausoleum is evident in this photograph, with its grand facade featuring a large, domed structure adorned with intricate carvings and calligraphy. The dome, a characteristic feature of Mughal architecture, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of India during the 19th century. The monument's white and black color scheme adds to its striking visual appeal. The Mausoleum of Safdar Jang is a significant historical site, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the grandeur and beauty of India during the British colonial era. The image is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the history and art of India and the Mughal Empire.
