Picturesque Bridge over the Rungnoo below Ging - Darjeeling 1865

Photograph of a bridge near Ging, taken by Samuel Bourne in the 1860s. Samuel Bourne's photographs display a compositional elegance which appealed to Victorian notions of the ‘picturesque’; strategically framed landscapes of rugged mountain scenery, forests, rivers, lakes and rural dwellings. Bourne chose his routes with care, planning his itineraries based on the latest maps, the locations of renowned geological features, glaciers, high passes, the sources of major rivers, unusual land forms with fossils and places of archaeological note.

Teesta (Tista) River, Darjeeling - Circa 1870

The Tista is a tributary of the Brahmaputra River, flowing through India and Bangladesh. It rises in the Himalayas near Chunthang, Sikkim, flows south cutting a deep gorge through the Darjeeling Himalaya, and turns southeast to run through Sivok Gota Pass onto the plains of West Bengal. It then crosses the Rangpur region of Bangladesh to join the Brahmaputra River.
