The exhibition provides a fascinating insight into the changing face on India over the last 150 years. 'In India through Photography: Two Times, Two Photographers' Newcastle-based academic Dr Xavier Guégan compares images of modern day India with images taken in the 1860’s by the famous photographer Samuel Bourne, providing a fascinating insight into the development of visual art from colonialism to post-colonialism.'

In 2002 Dr Xavier Guégan travelled around India in the footsteps of 19th Century traveller and photographer Samuel Bourne. He studied the way in which Bourne represented Indian people, architecture and landscape in his writings and photographs. This exhibition, a collaboration with Northumbria University and the British Library, brings together copies of Bourne’s original photographs together with images taken by Guégan.
