220 images from Linnaeus Tripe’s 1854 collection of photos of India and Burma were auctioned by Sotheby’s in London in November.

Tripe, an official photographer for the East India Company, took what are considered among the earliest images of India, many of which have remained unseen since the 19th century.

The photographs belong to the estate of Lord Dalhousie, the seventh governor-general of India.
