Grain bazaar on the Chipore Road, 1840’s Calcutta
A German-born Calcutta lithographer who took up photography in the late 1840s, Fiebig's views of Calcutta are the earliest extensive photographic documentation of the capital of British India. Produced from paper negatives, his prints were offered for sale in either monochrome or (as here) hand-coloured form.
