Shuhur, - Jeypore,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating photograph print by William Purser, showcases the grandeur of Shergarh Fort in Jaipur, India, circa 1834. The image, published in "Views in India, China and on the Shores of the Red Sea, Vol. I," offers a glimpse into the rich history of this magnificent fortress. Located in the heart of Rajasthan, India, Shergarh Fort stands proudly on a hill overlooking the serene lake and the mouth of the estuary. The fort, a testament to the architectural prowess of the past, is a stunning blend of Mughal and Rajput architectural styles. Its imposing exterior walls, punctuated by towering bastions and fortifications, exude a sense of strength and resilience. The photograph, taken by Commander Robert Elliot (also known as Robert James Elliot or Emma Roberts), captures the fort from an exterior perspective, offering a panoramic view of its grandeur. The print, engraved by Fisher, Son & Co. in London, showcases the fort's symmetrical design, with its main entrance flanked by two towering gateways and the surrounding landscape dotted with trees and buildings. The image transports us back in time, inviting us to explore the historic fortress and imagine the stories it holds. Today, Shergarh Fort is a popular tourist attraction and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, drawing visitors from around the world to experience its rich history and architectural beauty. The photograph, a treasure in itself, is a reminder of the importance of preserving our heritage and the role of photography in capturing and sharing the stories of our past. William Purser's "Shuhur, - Jeypore" is not just a photograph but a window into the past, offering us a glimpse into the grandeur and history of Shergarh Fort in Jaipur, India.
