Agra. View of the Taj from the Garden

Samuel Bourne

Cleveland Museum of Art

The photograph shows a black and white view of the Taj Mahal from a garden. The Taj Mahal has a large central dome surrounded by a smaller dome on either side and has a detailed carved design. A path leads to the Taj Mahal, flanked by trees and shrubs on both sides. A man stands on the path holding an object and another sits cross-legged on the path. Potted plants and trees line both sides of the path and a large tree dominates the left side of the image. The photograph is sepia-toned.
