Sacred Temple and Tank - Umritsir (Amritsar)

Circa 1854

Later hand-coloured steel engraving on paper

6 x 8.75 in (15.1 x 22.2 cm)

A great view towards the north. The Sikh faith's centre of spirituality is said to be Darbar Sahib. Guru Arjan Singh initially constructed it in the latter half of the 16th century. After Ranjit Singh renovated the building and coated the ceiling with golden copper plates, it became known by the colloquial name "Golden Temple." The way Carpenter depicts the locals in the foreground beside the magnificent temple, which is partially reflected in the water in the background, is what makes this print so charming.
