Description
19th century Photograph of India by Samuel Bourne taken between 1864 and 1866. Individual photograph from a presentation album dated March 1868. Ice Cave in the Glacier, the Source of the Buspa. c1864. Condition: Excellent contrast and tonality, minor edge fading. Photographer : Samuel Bourne #1526. Size: 9 x 11.25 inches, 230 x 285 mm. Bourne wrote about his journey in The British Journal of Photography, outlining his route and in some cases describing the scenes he photographed. Of this glacier he wrote: The stupendous glacier fills up completely the head of the valley; an enormous block of ice hundreds of feet in thickness and several miles long (as far as I could judge, probably ten or fifteen), but I did not explore it. The stream issues at its foot (a full-blown river at once) out of an immense ice cave, called by the natives the cow's mouth. I was fortunate enough in having a fine, clear morning following the day of my arrival at this spot, and was thus enabled to obtain three excellent negatives of the cave, the glacier, and the peaks by which it was surrounded.
Condition
Excellent contrast and tonality, minor edge fading.
