Kashmere Gate, Delhi Print

DESCRIPTION

This is a vintage photograph of Kashmere Gate, one of the 14 original gates that were built into the fortified walls of Shahjahanabad, which was the capital city founded by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan located in Old Delhi. It was named the Kashmere Gate as it was the northern gate that led the way to Kashmir. The gate gained national attention after the fierce battle between the British Army and the Indian rebel soldiers during the 1857 Mutiny. Indian freedom fighters fired volleys of cannonballs from this gate at the British and used the area to assemble for strategized fights and resistance but they were eventually overpowered and the British regained control of Delhi.

The British moved to Civil Lines in 1857, and Kashmere Gate became a commercial center of Delhi. In 1965, a section of the Kashmere Gate was demolished to allow faster movement of vehicular traffic.

Now Kashmere Gate is also the name of the surrounding locality in North Delhi, in the Old Delhi area, and an important road junction as the Red Fort, ISBT and Delhi Junction railway station lie in its vicinity.

PACKING FOR SHIPMENT

The glass is protected by special tape for safety during transport. The frame is then sandwiched between foam for cushioning, wrapped in a corrugated sheet, and shrink-wrapped. We do professional packing to ensure the product reaches you safely.

CARE

 

  • Keep your prints out of direct sunlight or extreme weather conditions
  • Do not lean anything against the surface of a canvas
  • Dust your artworks with a clean, soft rag occasionally to prevent dust build-up. Don't use cleaning products or water
  • Hang your artworks away from the bustling and possibly messy areas
  • For framed works with glass or acrylic, use a soft white cloth and for paintings with heavy texture or fragile surfaces, a soft white brush is better. A new, unused make-up brush would also do the trick
