EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 19th century, showcasing the majestic City Walls of Tughlakabad in Delhi, India. The image is a remarkable illustration from "El Mundo En La Mano" a publication dating back to 1878. The photograph captures the grandeur and strength of these defensive ramparts that once encircled the city. These imposing walls were built during the reign of Ghiyas-ud-din Tughlaq, who established Tughlakabad as his capital in the 14th century. They served as a formidable barrier against potential invaders and stood tall as a symbol of power and protection. Now reduced to ruins, this fortress-like structure still stands as a testament to India's rich history and architectural prowess. The intricate details on these weathered walls tell stories of battles fought, victories won, and lives lived within their protective embrace. As we gaze upon this historical relic through Ken Welsh's lens, we are transported to an era long gone but not forgotten. We can almost imagine bustling streets filled with merchants trading goods or soldiers guarding their posts atop these ancient fortifications. This print serves as both an educational tool for those interested in Indian history and an artistic masterpiece capturing the beauty found within decayed structures. It reminds us that even though time may have taken its toll on these walls, their significance remains intact—a reminder of our shared human heritage and resilience throughout centuries past.
