EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the Taj Mahal, one of the most iconic structures in Indian history, is captured from a distant viewpoint over the Yamuna River. The image, taken in the late 1890s, depicts the mausoleum in its timeless beauty, shrouded in a haze that adds to its ethereal allure. In the foreground, the four-domed building of Muti Musjid stands out, its intricate architectural details contrasting sharply with the vast expanse of water and the grandeur of the Taj Mahal in the background. The Taj Mahal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was built between 1632 and 1653 by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. The mausoleum, made of white marble, is a symbol of love and devotion, attracting millions of visitors every year. The Muti Musjid, also known as the Mosque of Shahi Idgah, is a significant historical structure in its own right, located in Agra, India. It was built by Emperor Akbar in 1604 and is famous for its red sandstone architecture and intricate carvings. This photograph, part of the India Box, Boswell Collection, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the Taj Mahal was a marvel that continued to captivate visitors from all corners of the world. The use of a lantern slide adds to the vintage charm of the image, making it a valuable historical document that continues to inspire and intrigue.
