[Photographic Album of India, Delhi, and Agra].
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.
