About Us Banyan Photo Gallery specializes in historic Asian photography. It provides original 19th century-early 20th century photographs from China, India, and South-East Asia with an emphasis on ethnographic images (street life, portraits) and architectural views. The gallery offers a large choice of albumen print and gelatin silver print images in carefully described conditions. Browsing our collection will give you a rare opportunity to get a glimpse of Asia in the old times, back up to the date when photography was invented (1839). The collection Our photographs, whether signed, identified or from unknown photographers, are original vintage prints (printed at the time or shortly after shooting) unless otherwise mentioned. We also provide high quality limited editions of classic images reprinted from the original glass plates. The gallery aims to promote the work of pioneering nineteenth and early twentieth century photographers through the sale of iconic or lesser known images from the original source. Links Page
