Daguerreotype view of Calcutta, looking towards the Free Presbyterian Church. Photographer: Unknown
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Landscape Photography
Half-plate daguerreotype looking across the rooftops of Calcutta towards the spire of the Free Presbyterian Church in Wellesley Square. The church was opened in 1848. In the left foreground stands an imposing three-storey classical mansion. The view is taken from the south, possibly from the roof of a house in Park Street. The precise location is difficult to ascertain since, in common with all daguerreotypes, the view is laterally reversed.
[Daguerreotype, 126x100mm].
