This drawing shows a cutaway view of the Taj Mahal. You see two floors of rooms wrapped around a central chamber. Inside that room stand two empty tombs. A Delhi or Agra artist made this for a British official between 1816 and 1822. It’s not just a picture—it’s a slice through the building, like an exploded diagram. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see it in person.
