In Reverie and Reality, a visual history of nineteenth-century India unfolds in an exhibition of one hundred twelve vintage photographs, including images by some of the earliest and most significant practitioners of the medium: Linnaeus Tripe, Samuel Bourne, John Murray, and Lala Deen Dayal. The subject matter encompasses famous architectural monuments and natural landscapes; daily life in villages and sumptuous, formal visits of foreign royalty; and exotic lion hunts and elephants. The photographs of Reverie and Reality are drawn from the important collection of Dr. William Ehrenfeld, Professor Emeritus of Vascular Surgery, University of California, San Francisco.
