Book Description (Art Gallery of Ontario)
One of the early pioneers of photography, Linnaeus Tripe (1822-1902) is celebrated for his illuminating photographs of notable architecture, monuments, landscape views and artifacts of India and Burma in the mid-1850's. His photographs were meant to provide a new form of record for government officials as much as to satisfy the British public's enthusiasm for unfamiliar cultures.
The Tripe scholar and historian Janet Dewan has undertaken a remarkable work of scholarship. In addition to having established Tripe's authoritative chronology, Janet Dewan has provided a biography and has reproduced original documents that will provide a factual basis for future critial interpretation. Full descriptions and references for each of Tripe's one thousand and sixty images are supplemented by commentary, maps and plans. The Art Gallery of Ontario takes great pride in publishing the comprehensive catalogue raisonne of Linnaeus Tripe's images. |
