Fifty one captivating views of Delhi, Agra and surrounding environs of the Utter Pradesh, including the Diwan-i-Kas, the Qutub Minar, the Taj Mahal, the The Hazrat Nizamuddin Dargah, the Alamgir Mosque, the Gyanvapi Mosque, and other important sites.
Thirty-six of the photographs are signed by Samuel Bourne and the numbers correlate to when they were taken, placing them between 1860-69. They were likely printed later from the original negatives in the 1870s or 1880s. Nine are signed by John Edward Sache, a contemporary of Bourne, and date to the same period. Five are unsigned or illegible.
Samuel Bourne (1834-1912) was a British photographer known for his striking photographs of India, active from 1863 to 1870. In 1863 he joined forces with Charles Shepherd and together they created Bourne & Shepherd first in Shimla in 1863 and later in Calcutta.
Landscape folio album (36 x 45.5 cm); 51 albumen printes mounted on card, most of which signed by Bourne, mild marginal spotting to first two leaves (not affecting image), very occasional light spot elsewhere; contemporary gilt ruled half calf, cloth boards with gilt lettering to upper board, gilt spine, a little rubbed, upper board detached, photographs in very good condition.
