EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the late 1890s, showcases the grandeur of The Kutab's Ala-ud-din Gateway in Delhi, India. The image, part of the Boswell collection, presents a very large doorway with intricate carvings and a set of stairs leading up to it. Two men are seen sitting on the stairs, adding a sense of scale and human connection to the historical monument. The Ala-ud-din Gateway, an architectural marvel from the late 13th century, is a significant part of the Qutub Complex in Delhi. This monument, dedicated to Ala-ud-din Khalji, the sultan of Delhi, is a fine example of Indo-Islamic architecture. The gateway's intricate carvings and calligraphy reflect the rich cultural heritage of India during the medieval period. The photograph, with its timeless appeal, invites us to explore the history and beauty of this magnificent structure. The men sitting on the stairs add a touch of life to the image, reminding us of the countless stories that unfolded around this iconic monument over the centuries. The use of a lantern slide further enhances the image's antique charm, transporting us back in time to witness the grandeur of India's architectural past.
