The photographs of Linnaeus Tripe A catalogue raisonné

CONTENT:
Monography & catalogue raisonné of the photo's made by Linnaeus Tripe in Burma and India.
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.Captain Linnaeus Tripe (1822-1902), an army officer in the employment of the East India Company, served in the Indian Army. In the 1850s when he became photographer to the British Colonial Government in India, his first assignment was as official photographer to the diplomatic mission headed to the Burmese capital, Amerapoora. At this time, the Court of Directors of the East India Company was moving away from using draughtsmen to record views and people, subscribing more and more to the idea that photography was a more economical and accurate way to record visual information. By 1854 all colonial governments in India had been ordered to use photographers rather than draughtsmen. The slow calotype process meant that photographs of people in action were not possible."
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 critical interpretation. Full descriptions and references for each of Tripe`s one thousand and sixty images are supplemented by commentary, maps and plans.
