Samuel Bourne (1834-1912) from Nottingham became the leading landscape pho-

tographer in India where he favoured the wet collodion process. The printing and

distribution of his plates was left to his partner in the firm of Bourne & Shepherd in

Simla. Bourne is most remembered for his Himalayan studies.
