Vintage Photos of Nepal in 1894

Written By Sean Starr

I came across these amazing print photos of Nepal taken in 1894 and ordered them from someone in Australia who had the originals. I was shocked at how many of these locations that we had been to look essentially the same today as they did in 1894, which is a testament to the timeless nature of such an ancient culture. I am placing photos and screenshots from Art Is Love: Nepal alongside the originals so you can see how similar things look nearly 130 years later.
