As early as the 1860s and especially in the 1880s, early British photographers such as Bourne, Shepherd, Parr, and others established contact with Himalayan peoples in the regions close to India. Remarkable portraits of high-mountain peoples of various ethnicities and backgrounds were made by these photographers, some in their studios and others at places of pilgrimage in northern India and Nepal.
