Exterieur van de Qutb Minar in Delhi 1862 - 1864

This 19th-century photograph, created by Shepherd & Robertson between 1862 and 1864, captures the Qutb Minar in Delhi. The tall, intricately carved minaret dominates the image, standing proudly against a clear sky. The surrounding landscape, featuring trees and other buildings, provides context to the monument's grandeur. This black and white photograph, measuring 347mm by 250mm, is a testament to the photographic documentation of architectural marvels during the colonial era. The Qutb Minar, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a striking example of Indo-Islamic architecture, and this photograph allows viewers to appreciate its beauty and historical significance.
