Western Gateway (Gopuram) of the Minakshi Sundareshvara Temple, Madurai, 1858. Captain Linnaeus Tripe (British, 1822-1902). Albumenized salt print; image: 38 x 30.2 cm (14 15/16 x 11 7/8 in.); image with black margin: 39.5 x 31.2 cm (15 9/16 x 12 5/16 in.); paper: 39.5 x 31.2 cm (15 9/16 x 12 5/16 in.). The tall gateways of this Hindu temple, characteristic of South Indian temple architecture, challenged the camera technology of 1858. Linnaeus Tripe, however, had a new type of device, a wooden box camera with a rising front,” or bellows. This innovation allowed him to get relatively close to tall structures and capture them without radical vertical distortion.
