Image description

Bayley Collection: Album of miscellaneous Indian views Illustrator: Rowe, Josiah Language: English Source/Shelfmark: Photo 147/1(49) part 8 7 & 8. Chowringhee'. The print is currently framed and stored separately from the album. Negatives are numbered B.12464-12472. This view appears to have been shown at the 1862 exhibition of the Bengal Photographic Society: 'Our old friend Mr Rowe, has not contributed many pictures, but in those which he has sent there is a marked improvement...The Panorama of Calcutta is a fine Photograph, but the absence of moving life in so extended a space crowded with houses is felt in looking at this picture'. [Panorama of Calcutta in eight parts.] c. 1859
