Resumo
Photograph of a view of the Dhul Canal in Kashmir from the 'Strachey Collection of Indian Views', taken by Samuel Bourne in the 1860s. Samuel Bourne, the bank clerk and amateur photographer arrived in India in 1863 during the early years of commercial photography. Photographs taken during three expeditions to Kashmir and the Himalayas between 1863 and 1866 demonstrate his ability to combine technical skill and artistic vision. These views display a compositional elegance which appealed to Victorian notions of the 'picturesque'; strategically framed landscapes of rugged mountain scenery, forests, rivers, lakes and rural dwellings. The Dhul Canal is one of the most remarkable in India for the beauty of the scenery through which it winds its way. Photographer: Bourne, Samuel.
