Photography
Linnaeus Tripe was a British photographer active in the mid-nineteenth century, known for his large-format architectural and landscape photography in India and Burma. Working with the wet collodion process, he produced meticulously composed views of temples, fortifications, and urban topography that combined documentary precision with formal sophistication. His photographic surveys, undertaken during extended postings in South Asia, established him as a significant figure in early colonial photography.
