Futtypore Sicri,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating engraving by William Purser, showcases the magnificent Mughal palace at Fatehpur Sikri in Uttar Pradesh, India, from the year 1834. This exquisite print is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the region, which was once the capital city of the Mughal Empire under the reign of Emperor Akbar. The image portrays an exterior view of the palace complex, with its grand architecture adorned with intricate Islamic designs, reflecting the religious and artistic influences of the time. Two bullock carts are visible in the foreground, adding a sense of activity and movement to the scene. The carts, which were a common mode of transportation during the 16th and 19th centuries, convey a sense of the bustling trade and commerce that would have taken place around the palace. The print, titled "Futtypore Sicri," was published in "Views in India, China and on the Shores of the Red Sea, Vol. I," by Fisher, Son & Co. in London in 1835. Captain Robert Elliot, who was likely the commander of the expedition that produced the original sketches for the engravings, is credited as the author of the accompanying descriptive text. The print was produced during a time when travel and exploration were becoming increasingly popular, and the images of exotic locales like Fatehpur Sikri would have been highly sought after by tourists and collectors alike. The image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of grandeur and beauty, when the Mughal Empire ruled over India and left behind a legacy of stunning architecture and artistic achievements. Today, Fatehpur Sikri remains a popular tourist attraction, drawing visitors from around the world who seek to experience the rich history and cultural heritage of this remarkable place.
