Photography in India. A rare witness to the spread in popularity of photography in India in the late nineteenth-century, with no other copies traced. The striking front cover, together with a further illustration on p. 73, of female figures operating camera equipment strongly suggest that the pursuit of photography was primarily considered a female pastime at the time of publication.
