*** Tripe was born in Plymouth Dock (now Devonport) in 1822
and joined the East India army in 1838. His earliest experiments
in photography, probably inspired by the Great Exhibition, date
from 1851 while he was on leave in his home town. He returned to
India in 1854 and from then until 1869 produced his better-known
architectural photographs of India and Burma.
