About the Item

Two Gelatin Silver Prints of India by Johnston & Hoffmann, one with blind stamp depicting bathers at the Hoogly, the other of a backlit wooden boat on the Ganges. Both prints have penciled inventory numbers, size, and photographer's name on the reverse. Hindus revere the Ganges as a river descended from the heavens. Bathing in the Ganges River is a deeply sacred ritual in Hinduism, believed to purify the body and soul and cleanse one from sins. Founded in 1882 by PA Johnston and Theodore Julius Hoffmann, (Johnston & Hoffmann) was the first and largest studio based in Calcutta (now Kolkata), with later branches being opened in Darjeeling, Shimla, Rangoon and Burma. For more than 30 years, N.P. Trent Antiques has been among the countries leading dealers in period English and Continental furniture, art, and decorative accessories. We also carry a large selection of Antiquarian books with a special focus on the decorative arts as well as a selection of both signed and unsigned 1st Editions.
