Observatory Hill Darjeeling, India: A Glimpse into the Past This vintage photograph, titled "Observatory Hill Darjeeling, India," is an exquisite example of the rich cultural and historical heritage of India during the late 19th century. Taken by renowned British photographer Samuel Bourne, this albumen print transports us back in time to the quaint town of Darjeeling nestled in the Himalayan mountains. The image showcases the picturesque Observatory Hill, a prominent landmark and popular tourist attraction in Darjeeling.
