This chromolithograph titled “Gateway at Futtehpore Secree – Agra” is part of the “Travel of India” series and presents a striking view of the Buland Darwaza, the grand entrance to the city of Fatehpur Sikri, built by Emperor Akbar in the late 16th century. The artwork, lithographed by Vincent Brooks lith., captures the imposing scale and architectural magnificence of this Mughal gateway, framed by the massive fortification walls of the historic city. The scene also illustrates the surrounding rural landscape, subtly contrasting the grandeur of imperial power with the simplicity of village life. The Gujarati script beneath the English title reflects the multilingual reach of the publication during the British colonial era.
