Footnotes

RARE ALBUM FROM THE STUDIO OF HOWARD AND BOURNE. Bourne arrived in India at the start of 1863, and went into a short-lived partnership with the Simla photographer William Howard in early 1864. In 1866, Howard left the company, which then became the more familiar Bourne & Shepherd.

The album opens with views in Simla and then follows Bourne's expeditions up the Sutlej River, including the Bridge over the Sutlej at Wangtu (Bourne 258), the Taree Pass (275), the Wangu Valley (273), the Balayn Pass into Valley of the Ravee (534), monuments at the Kangra Valley (511), view on the Khoolee (537), bridge in the Chumba Valley (549), a bridge on the Marqual Canal, and the Dhul Canal, both in Srinagar. Other images include the Taj Mahal, Kutub Minar, Golden Temple at Amritsar (407), and Jehangir's Tomb near Lahore (424).
