This paper attempts to make a connection between photography and the British rule in India. It specifically discusses the work of Samuel Bourne who traveled and photographed the subcontinent extensively from 1863-70. Having arrived in India right after the sepoy mutiny, Bourne also faced aesthetic and political dilemmas when confronted with the vastness and variety of the land.
