Add your own review!

Overview

Since its invention in the 1940s, photography has been used to record images of exotic locales. At the time, these photographs provided a glimpse of the world to a curious public, few of whom could ever hope to visit these places. In Reverie and Reality, a visual history of nineteenth-century India unfolds into an exhibition of one hundred and twelve vintage photographs, including images by some of the earliest and most significant practitioners of the medium. The subject matter encompasses famous architectural monuments and natural landscapes; daily life in villages, lavish, formal visits of foreign royalty; and exotic lion hunts and elephants. The photographs of Reverie and Reality are drawn from the important collection of Dr. William K. Ehrenfeld, Professor Emeritus of Vascular Surgery, University of California, San Francisco. 140 colour illustrations
