Description
After the public announcement of the invention of the camera in 1839, photography spread swiftly round the world, and by the early 1850s the medium had become well-established in the Indian subcontinent. In a land characterized by the variety and splendour of its architecture and landscapes, and the diversity of its people and customs, India offered the photographic artist an unsurpassed range of subject matter. Drawn from the collections of The British Library, and Howard and Jane Ricketts, this work is illustrated with some of the finest photographs produced in India during the latter half of the 19th century, many never previously reproduced.
