1885 Asia Lucknow Uttar Pradesh Rumi Darwaza
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back in time to the enchanting city of Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India. The focal point of this image is none other than the magnificent Rumi Darwaza, a monumental gateway that stands as a testament to the architectural brilliance of the region. The Rumi Darwaza, also known as Turkish Gate or Rome Gate, was constructed between 1865 and 1885 during the reign of Nawab Asaf-ud-Daula. Its imposing structure showcases a fusion of Mughal and Awadhi architectural styles, leaving onlookers in awe of its grandeur. Standing at an impressive height with intricately carved motifs adorning its facade, it serves as a symbol of Lucknow's rich cultural heritage. As we delve into this albumen silver print captured over a century ago by an unknown photographer, we are transported to an era where horse-drawn carriages traversed through bustling streets and men donned traditional attire. The monochrome tones add depth and character to this historical snapshot. The Liszt Collection allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance behind such remarkable landmarks like Rumi Darwaza. This photograph serves as a window into India's past and reminds us of our duty to preserve these treasures for future generations. Let it be admired for its artistic value rather than commercial use so that all can marvel at this timeless piece capturing one moment in history.
