[Man and Horse, Government House, Allahabad] 1858

"Man and Horse, Government House, Allahabad" is a 1858 photograph by John Constantine Stanley, a British photographer who lived from 1837 to 1878. The photograph depicts a horse, standing in a grassy area, in front of a building in Allahabad, India, and is now held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. This photograph is an example of the early development of photography in documenting daily life in the mid-19th century. The image has a muted sepia tone and features a blurred, indistinct quality typical of early photographic techniques. This photograph was a part of a larger photographic project Stanley undertook to document the British Raj in India.
