The Kashmiri Gate (showing the breach of 1857), Delhi, India
The Kashmere Gate or Kashmiri Gate, Delhi, India. The gate gained national attention during the Mutiny of 1857. Indian soldiers fired volleys of cannonballs from this gate at the British and used the area to assemble for strategizing fighting and resistance. The British had used the gate to prevent the mutineers from entering the city. Evidence of the struggles are visible today in damage to the existing walls (clearly visible on this postcard). Date: 1907

Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1907, showcases the historic Kashmiri Gate in Delhi, India, a significant landmark that played a pivotal role during the Indian Mutiny of 1857. The Kashmiri Gate, also known as Kashmere Gate, served as a strategic point for Indian soldiers during the uprising against the British East India Company's rule. Soldiers fired volleys of cannonballs from this gate at the British forces and assembled here to plan their resistance. The British, in turn, used the gate to prevent the mutineers from entering the city. The damage evident on the gate's walls is a poignant reminder of the intense struggles that took place here over a century ago. The arches, though majestic, bear the scars of the past, with visible signs of damage from the cannonballs that were once fired through them. The military engineer Robert Smith, who played a crucial role in the British defense during the mutiny, would have been all too familiar with these battle-scarred walls. The Kashmiri Gate is an essential part of Delhi's historic, walled city, and its rich history continues to captivate visitors from around the world. This photograph, taken over a century ago, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the significance of this iconic gate and the events that shaped India's history.
