Full Description

This comprehensive account traces James Waterhouse’s early career in Central India in the 1860s, through to his technical achievements in Britain in the 1900s. The works of this enigmatic figure devoted to the medium, acknowledged by his peers as “the father of photo-mechanical work”, until today remain unjustly neglected within the world of photography.
