Diwan-i-Khas in Agra Fort, Photograph circa 1890, India. A digitally restored photograph from the period by Photoglobe Co.
Built by Shah Jahan, this Hall of Private Audience hosted Mughal emperors' meetings. The famous Peacock Throne was once kept here, before Aurangzeb took it to Delhi. In the scene, Europeans leave the hall, natives work in gardens, highlighting its grand scale. The rosy sky was an imaginative addition by the printers, as this print is based on a black & white photograph. #History #India #Agra
