Description: | Photograph of Tolly's Nullah near Kalighat from 'Views of Calcutta and Barrackpore' taken by Samuel Bourne in the 1860s. The south-eastern Calcutta suburbs of Alipore and Kalighat were connected by bridges constructed over Tolly's Nullah.
By the 1860s, commercial photography was becoming well-established in India and this growing market attracted the young Nottingham photographer Samuel Bourne to the subcontinent in 1863. During a residence of seven years, Bourne produced thousands of landscape and architectural views, but his fame and the success of his studio, rests primarily on the results of three arduous photographic expeditions to Kashmir and the Himalayas. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Subjects: | Ghats Rivers Canals Water Transport Boats Bridges Suspension Bridges Cartography And Topography Transport Infrastructure Science And Technology Rowing Boats Rivers and waterways | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Bourne, Samuel | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
