"For my part, I may say that before I commenced photography I did not see half the beauties in nature that I do now, and the glory and power of a precious landscape has often passed before me and left but a feeble impression on my untutored mind; but it will never be so again." - Samuel Bourne, 1864

Between 1863 and 1866, Samuel Bourne made three trips to the Himalayas. He was encumbered with an unbelievable cargo of photographic equipment and plates, not to mention the other necesseties of life appropriate to daily existance of an Englishman abroad; 'sporting requisites', books, odd pieces of furniture and an ample supply of Hennessy's brandy.
