Sky Hunters: Word With A Bird September 4, 2010

The Rubin Museum presents the first exhibition of late 19th and early 20th century photographs by John Claude White, a British government officer who was stationed throughout the Himalayas during the British Raj. White traveled extensively during his twenty-year residence in Sikkim, documenting his official and personal journeys with an enormous camera. The resulting collection of large format prints beautifully represents the mountains he loved and the people whom White considered companions and friends.
