Delhi. Tomb of the Emperor Shums ooo deen Allomsh, Builder of the Kootub Minar in the Ruins of Old Delhi
Black and white photograph of a stone tomb in the center of an ornate room. The tomb has a large rectangular stone on top, on a multi-layered base, with intricate designs carved into it. The base is square and sits on a larger square platform. The room's walls are decorated with intricate carvings and patterns, including Arabic calligraphy. There are several archways in the background, some with doorways. The floor is made of large square stones. The overall atmosphere suggests an old, historical structure, possibly a mosque or mausoleum. The image is sepia-toned. The photograph is taken by Samuel Bourne.
