A reproduction of a 19th-century photograph by Samuel Bourne (English, 1834–1912), originally captured around 1864–66.

Taken from the upper terrace of the Lahore Fort, this photograph looks outward across the palace walls toward the city and plains beyond. The domed pavilions and arcaded galleries in the foreground frame a distant horizon softened by haze, conveying both scale and stillness. Bourne’s careful arrangement of light and shadow accentuates the geometry of Mughal architecture—the symmetry of arches, the rhythm of columns, and the pale texture of stone beneath the sun. Captured around 1863, the image remains one of the earliest photographic records of Lahore’s fort complex.

Framed in yellow pine wood with an oil finish, handcrafted and assembled at our Lahore studio.
