Himalaya. Songs and Pictures
. Includes some very early distant images of Mount Everest and Kanchenjunga, and some close images of Nanda Devi.
Some of the photographs on which the heliogravures are based were taken during Boeck's 1890 expedition to the Himalayas with Hans Kehrer. T
he plates include: Mount Everest 29002 feet; Kinchinjanca 28150 feet; Nanda Devi; Nanda Devi with Glacier; Bhutia - Prince's Daughter from Darjeeling; Buddhist Priests; Naini Tal; Phurkia Shelter; Kumaon Shepherds; Emergency Bridge over the Falls of Ram Ganga; Shelter in Milam; and more.
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. Extra postage will be requested for Priority, International and Media mail.
