Bourne was a pioneering 19th century photographer who created albumen prints documenting Indian landscapes, rivers, and architecture with the same documentary precision and monochromatic tonality seen in this Beato photograph. His work similarly captures the intersection of colonial observation with the grandeur of Indian waterways and built environments.

Tripe worked as an official photographer documenting Indian architecture and landscapes in the 1850s using albumen and waxed paper prints, producing images with the same monochromatic stillness and architectural documentary intent as this bridge photograph. His systematic recording of Indian waterscapes and structures closely parallels Beato's approach here.
