Engraving by S. Prout: Aurungzebe's Tomb

Leafy courtyard path leads to a mosque with slim towers and a lone walker.

This engraving is from England, United Kingdom, and dates to the mid 19th century. It is ink on paper. These European views of the East were not always accurate and were prone to stereotype, yet they reflected genuine curiosity, and many were hand colored and are still appreciated as historical artworks. A huge spreading tree shades the left side, beside a low square tomb block. Beyond, a domed building with two slender minarets stands in strong sun. A single white-clad figure walks the foreground path. A short caption sits beneath the plate. It is 10.8 inches wide and 8.2 high.

The tree is clearly the star, and the building is gracious about it.
