EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph showcases the magnificent Gol Gumbaz, the tomb of Mohammed Adil Shah II, built in 1659. The American School's intricate print beautifully captures the grandeur and architectural brilliance of this historical monument. Located in Bijapur (or Bejapoor) city in Karnataka state, India, the Gol Gumbaz is renowned for its significant role during the rule of the Adil Shahi dynasty. Designed by Yaqut of Dabul, it stands as a testament to their artistic prowess and vision. The standout feature of this awe-inspiring structure is its second largest dome in the world. Its domed octagonal corner towers add an enchanting touch to its overall design. As we gaze at this lithograph, we are transported back in time to witness not only its exterior beauty but also marvel at its minarets and intricate details that make it a true masterpiece. The Gol Gumbaz holds immense cultural and historical importance within Islamic architecture. It serves as a mausoleum for Mohammed Adil Shah II, who ruled from 1627-57. This solemn resting place exudes tranquility and reverence. Through Prismatic Pictures' lens and Bridgeman Images' collection, we have been granted access to appreciate this remarkable engraving from Appletons Journal - a popular American journal that celebrated literature, science, and art during the 19th century. As we admire this print today, let us be reminded of our rich heritage and take inspiration from
