You see a photo of the Taj Mahal with mountains in the background. The photo was taken in the 1860s, a time when photography was still new. It's interesting because it shows how people traveled to see famous landmarks back then. You can learn more about this type of photography by looking at the work of artist: Samuel Bourne (British, 1834–1912)
