Images featuring Urban

6 images from works
  • Market scene in Dieppe, France, 19th July, 1817
  • View of the Manam river, Bangkok, Siam, with sailing ships anchored
  • Nepal; street cleaning in Kathmandu, 1986. In the mid-1980s, Kathmandu was a mix of medieval architecture and urban sprawl. Television was a late-comer to Nepal but by the 1980s, the skyline of urban areas had become peppered with television aerials. Copying western culture and values became fashionable, and drug addiction amongst the young increased significantly during the decade.
  • Street scene in Rouen, France, 21st July, 1817, taken by camera lucida on the second day of Lister's visit
  • Mount Meru Bangkok, Siam
  • Watercolous of a palace and bridge along the banks of the Rhine created via a camera lucida
