Shimla. View from Oakover House

Samuel Bourne

Cleveland Museum of Art

Sepia-toned photograph of a hillside town. The town is built on a hillside, with many buildings and houses scattered across the slope. Trees, mostly evergreen, are interspersed among the buildings. In the foreground, a few large houses are visible, surrounded by trees. The background shows more buildings and a large white structure on the right side of the hill. The sky above is clear and light-colored. The image is taken from a distance, likely from a higher vantage point, such as Oakover House. The overall scene depicts a serene and picturesque hillside town.
