拍場告示

The photographs numbered "2", "3", "4" and "9" in ink on the prints are by Dr. Neill and are plates from the publication Dharwar and Mysore. The other two photographs are possibly also by Dr. Neill. They are not thought to be the work of Linnaeus Tripe.

拍品專文

Tripe visited Hullabeed (now Halebid) in 1854 and exhibited sixty-eight views from there and Belloor (now Belur) at the Madras Exhibition of Raw Products, Arts and Manufactures of Southern India in February 1855. They were awarded a first class medal as "the best series of photographic views on paper". These images pre-date Tripe's expedition to Burma and his appointment as Photographer to the Madras Presidency.
