Gezicht op een dam in de Ganges before 1867

"Gezicht op een dam in de Ganges" is a photograph by Thomas George Glover, a British photographer known for his documentation of landscapes in India. Taken before 1867, this albumen print captures the Assiut Barrage on the Nile River. The image shows a large dam with multiple arches, likely a crucial piece of infrastructure for irrigation and transportation in the region. The photograph's subdued tones and wide-angle perspective create a sense of vastness and emphasize the engineering feat captured within the frame. This image offers a glimpse into the historical development of the Nile River and highlights Glover's contribution to photographic documentation of the region.
