India through Photography Exhibition

‘India through Photography: Two Times, Two Photographers Samuel Bourne – Xavier Guégan’

In 2002 Dr Xavier Guégan travelled around India in the footsteps of 19^th Century traveller and photographer Samuel Bourne.  He studied the way in which Bourne represented Indian people, architecture and landscape in his writings and photographs. This exhibition, a collaboration with Northumbria University and the British Library, brings together copies of Bourne’s original photographs together with images taken by Guégan.  The exhibition provides a fascinating insight into the changing face of India over the last 150 years.
