Kurt Karl Alexander Oscar Boeck (1855 � 1933) was a German theater artist, and mountaineer who travelled across South Asia in the 1890s, photographed, and wrote on his experiences. In 1887 he took up an offer to join on an expedition to Persia and the Caucasus. He travelled to the Himalayas on his own in 1890 along with Tyrol glacier guide Hans Kerner. He took photographs and collected artefacts and specimens of natural history for various German museums. In 1888 he started a photo studio in Rostock. He made several trips to India in 1893, 1895, and 1898�99 and began to give lectures on his travels and write books. This is a large format portfolio.
