 Item
Reference Code: GBR/0115/RCS/Y3022C/38

Scope and Contents

297 x 238 mm. View looking along the valley, with the Ganges running its course between steep cliffs. After leaving the area of the source of the Ganges, Bourne made his way to Derali, a village near Mokba, where he halted for two days to varnish his negatives. He then followed the course of the Ganges for a further two marches and 'during these two marches I obtained only three pictures, though I might easily have taken more of a similar character' (B.J.P., 1 April 1870, p. 149). Bourne no. 1550.
