Grass Rope Bridge at Teree, - Gurwall
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating 19th century photograph by renowned English painter David Cox, showcasing a footbridge over a river in the Tehri Garhwal district of Uttarakhand, India. The image is taken from the collection "Views in India, China and on the Shores of the Red Sea," published by Fisher, Son & Co. in London in 1835. The photograph depicts a traditional grass rope bridge, locally known as a 'jhoola,' spanning a ravine and connecting the banks of a serene river. The bridge, with its delicate and intricate construction, is a testament to the engineering prowess and resourcefulness of the local people. The bridge's grass ropes, which have been woven together, provide a sturdy and flexible foundation for the foot traffic. The surrounding landscape is characterized by rocky formations, lush greenery, and a picturesque valley. The river, with its calm and clear waters, flows gracefully through the landscape, adding to the serene beauty of the scene. People can be seen in the foreground, adding an element of human interest to the photograph. The location of the photograph is identified as Teree, in the Gurwall region of Tehri Garhwal district. The area is known for its natural beauty and rich cultural heritage, making it a popular destination for travelers and adventurers. The photograph provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the geography and people of Hindoostan during the 19th century. David Cox's masterful use of light and shadow, combined with his keen observational skills, results in a photograph that is not only visually stunning but also historically significant. The image is a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs, providing insights into the geography, culture, and people of India during the 19th century.
