India through the lens: Photography 1840-1911
India Through the Lens: Photography 1840–1911, curated by Vidya Dehejia and a distinguished cast of contributors, charts the history of early photography in the Indian subcontinent. Through a collection of essays and photographs, the book examines how photography developed in India, from cityscapes, architecture, and natural landscapes to portraits of citizens and rulers. It also explores the contributions of important photographers such as Lala Deen Dayal, who was revered in both royal and colonial circles. The essays provide the technical and aesthetic context of photography, social and cultural changes, and how Indians and Westerners used the camera to capture colonial realities in the 19th century. This book is invaluable as both visual documentation and historical analysis, making it a valuable resource for photography enthusiasts, art historians, and anyone interested in Indian social history.
