Calcutta, 1860. Photographer: Rowe, Josiah
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Urban Topographical Photography
View from the Ochterlony Monument looking north-west across the Maidan towards Government House and the River Hugli beyond. The tower and spire behind Government House belong to St John's Cathedral. The photograph is unsigned and uncredited, but it is likely that it is by Rowe's, since Bowring acquired numerous prints of his work, and Rowe is known to have photographed from the top of this monument on several occasions.
[Albumen print, 355x235mm].
