In pictures: An Italian photographer’s earliest images of the majestic Himalayas

Vittorio Sella was a pioneering Italian photographer whose work at the turn of the 20th Century shaped both mountain photography and mountaineering history.

His rare images of the Himalayas remain some of the most iconic ever captured.

A new ongoing show in the Indian capital, Delhi, called Vittorio Sella: Photographer in the Himalaya brings to life the breathtaking grandeur of the Himalayas through his lens.

Curated by renowned British explorer and author Hugh Thomson and organised by Delhi Art Gallery (DAG), the show is likely one of the largest collection of Sella’s Indian views.

It features some of the earliest high-altitude photographs of Kanchenjunga, the world’s third-highest mountain, and K2, the world’s second-tallest mountain, captured over a century ago.
