Saisons Indiennes est le fruit d’un travail assidu de la photographe Marie Accomioto. Chaque année depuis 1995, la photographe née à Alger se rend en Inde. Elle parcourt le sous-continent, elle y photographie la vie, en noir et blanc ou en couleur. Dans ce recueil, le travail des pêcheurs de Bogmalo côtoie la Mosquée Badshahi à Lahore; l’immense valée de la Nubra, sèche et déserte borde la poésie de l’image de Puja à Rishikesh (Uttaranchal)... L’ouvrage vient enrichir les images, ne présente pas une, mais de multiples visions du sous-continent indien, du Ladakh au Rajasthan, du Kerala au Tamil Nadu.

(Donald A. Heald - Rare Books, Prints & Maps. Courtesy of Donald A. Heald, #14176) . - In late 1856 on the recommendation of a 'Dr. Neill, of the 1st Madras Light Cavalry' Oakeley set out to photograph the Holysaleswara Temple, a magnificent example of Hindu architecture and sculpture begun during the first half of the 12th century. The journey involved a march of some twenty days, 'along the most miserable cross country roads conceivable' before reaching the temple: 'Having seen a great number of the most celebrated Pagodas in the South of India, I can unhesitatingly assert, it far surpasses any, even the most gorgeous of these beautiful structures.' - 'Having a Photographic Apparatus with me, I lost no time in committing to waxed paper faithful representations of almost every portion of the Sculpture.' Despite working under very difficult circumstances and having lost 'a considerable portion' of his photographic equipment on the march to the temple, Oakeley here presents a range of images that demonstrate his consummate skill at composition. The images are all the more remarkable when one considers that these were Oakeley's first attempts 'at Photographing in a hot climate'. - Between 1854 and 1857, four photographers are known to have made the difficult journey to Halebid: Tripe, Pigou, Neil and Richard Banner Oakeley. According to Jane Dewan, "Oakley's series is the most interesting photographically". - Jane Dewan 'The Hoysalesvara Temple of Halebid in Early Photography' History of Photography, Oct.-Dec., 1989, pp.343-354; Gernsheim 104.

"The prosperous inhabitants of Western countries have looked to India as a place to discover their spiritual selves-and many who have visited India have been irrevocably altered by the experience. But what is it that enables a country to have such a deep spiritual impact on its visitors? German photographer Peter Bialobrzeski traveled all over India in search mystical truths and in order to discover the 'soul of India' for himself. Far from claiming to explain the complex universe of South Asian religions, Bialobrzeski's photographs feed off of a contradiction: on the one hand they look at India with the curious eye of a spiritual seeker, looking at India's holy places with wonder, reveling in its splendor; on the other hand these images possess a certain sense of analytical distance, of critique, self-awareness, and humor. These stunningly beautiful pictures offer us an intense visual experience but also examine-and ultimately leave open-the issue of what it is that we see when we look at India."

„After the public announcement of the invention of the camera in 1839, photography spread swiftly round the world, and by the early 1850s the medium had become well-established in the Indian subcontinent. In a land characterized by the variety and splendour of its architecture and landscapes, and the diversity of its people and customs, India offered the photographic artist an unsurpassed range of subject matter. Drawn from the collections of The British Library, and Howard and Jane Ricketts, this work is illustrated with some of the finest photographs produced in India during the latter half of the 19th century, many never previously reproduced.“ (Boekraam.nl. 10.2008).

"The genesis of this book, author Jain writes in his preface, "springs from my childhood habit of putting my thoughts on paper . Not only do I focus on Mumbai's [Bombay] past but also speak of today's metropolis." Photographs of Art Deco buildings are here, as are other images of the ornate Churchgate headquarters of the Western Railways, various ornamental clockfaces and sculptures, and a stunning two-page color spread of Mumbai at night. Jain also includes photos of the people of Mumbai: a "dhobi," or "washer folk" carting laundry to Dhobi Ghat, a traditional place for collective washing; a Victorian horse-driven carriage; and the Mumbaikar, those people who are forced to live and sleep on the streets."

"Photos of the Gods' is the first comprehensive history of posters, postcards and other printed images that comprise a major dimension of India's popular visual culture. It traces the connections between the production and consumption of these images and the struggle against colonial rule. The detailed output of individual presses and artists over the decades is set against the intensification of the nationalist struggle and the constraints imposed by colonial state censorship, and a half-century of Indian independence since 1947. By combining anthropology, political and cultural history and the study of aesthetic systems, and by including many intriguing and unfamiliar images, 'Photos of the Gods' shows that India's current predicament and popular culture cannot be understood without taking into account this complex and fascinating visual history. The emergence of Indian-run chromolithograph presses in the late 1870s initiated a vast outpouring of images of an astonishin variety, an outpouring that today has come to dominate many of India's spaces, both public and domestic. Many interviews with both artists and publishers were undertaken for this book. Among the great variety of artists responsible for the almost bewildering, yet totally compelling, panoply of'photos of the gods' in India are those that trained in the colonial art schools, others whose skills reflect their membership of traditional painting castes, and yet others who began their careers as humble self-taught sign painters. These artists and the presses together helped make rather than merely reflect the politics of their day, hence 'Photos of the Gods' is not a history of the art of chromolithography but reveals how popular visual culture contributed to history in the making in India."

Text dt. - Other editition: Engl. edition: Picturesques views. Mughal India in Nineteenth-Century photography. - "Picturesque Views presents a selection of 80 images by the best-known photographers of India's nineteenth-century Mughal Empire: Felice Beato, Thomas Biggs, Samuel Bourne and John Murray, among other pioneers of those early years of photography. The Mughal Empire spanned the early-sixteenth to the mid-nineteenth centuries, and was one of India's richest cultural periods. These photographers paid special attention to the architecture and gardens of the Mughals, and this publication includes striking views of the Taj Mahal and fascinating, often shocking, images of the city of Lucknow, known as the Constantinople of India. Also included are reproductions of the painstakingly retouched large-format waxed negatives from which some of these prints were made, as well as examples of stereoscopic photography, which was popular at the time."

Brochure ter gelegenheid van een tentoonstelling in 2000. - "Organized by a curatorial team led by Mr. Alkazi, the show is large, thanks to the astonishing breadth of Bourne's output, from architectural studies to limpid pastorales to ethnographic portraits. These are the sorts of pictures Bourne was best known for by his contemporaries. But what he kept coming back to was the landscape. He was an imperialist to the core, as all photographers basically are, "taking" pictures, "capturing" likenesses, "conquering" this impediment or that. His Indian experience was both a spiritual quest and a pictorial shopping spree, one that he lived off back in England for years.To his credit, though, and to our advantage, he pushed himself hard. His Himalayan forays took him to the very borders of the India defined by Western surveys at the time, where he came up against a Sublime so sublime, so non-European, so disorienting that it felt useless, blank, unseeable. He didn't know it, but India beyond colonialism began there." (Boekraam.nl. 10.2008).

Text engl. - "The negative archive of the Lafayette Photography Studio discovered in 1968 and now held by the Victoria and Albert Museum London reveals a panoply of Indian rulers who made the arduous trip to the heart of the Empire and were photographed heavily bejewelled and in exotic finery. The courts of Queen Victoria and King Edward VII expected no less of them. The immaculately preserved negatives in this collection reconstruct a vanished history of opulence grandeur and pageantry that laced the great state occasions of this period. In these images M. Lafayette (late of Paris) of Bond Street presents the Maharajas Maharanis and Nawabs as they wished to be remembered by posterity. The beautiful plates in this book are curated from the archives of the Lafayette studion by oriental scholar Russell Harris." (Boekraam.nl. 10.2008).

"The Sikhs are culturally one of the richest communities of India. The Sikh faith emerged and spread in north India to combat the stifling practices of the Hindu caste system and went on to become an all-emcompassing way of life. Tracing the history of this race from the inception of its religion by Guru Nanak, this book explains the turbulent history of the sikhs, their faith in one God, their ten Gurus and the casteless fraternity of the Khalsa Panth. It chronicles their customs, beliefs, rituals, modes of worship, weddings, baptisms, dances and martial traditions - the factors that make them an assertive and extrovert people with a zest for living. The sikhs are now prominent in all spheres fo modern life. It is said that every sikhs looks upon himself as Sava lakh. The succinct, yet comprehensive and objective text by one of India's most celebrated authors is enhanced by rare, brilliant and caried photographs taken by one of the ocuntry's best photogrpahers who has explored their private and public lives carefully and lovingly."

„Niemals zuvor ist die Geschichte des kolonialen Indien eindringlicher erzählt worden: Joachim K. Bautze hat für diesen Band sein einzigartiges Bildarchiv mit frühen Fotografien von atemberaubender Qualität, die unter heute kaum vorstellbaren Bedingungen entstanden, geöffnet. Die Epoche der englischen Kolonialherrschaft wird durch die Präsentation dieses Fotoschatzes, kenntnisreiche Kommentare und fesselnde Originalberichte zeitgenössischer Reisender wieder lebendig. Dokumentiert werden die Lebensgewohnheiten der Europäer, die Monumente Indiens, Verkehrswege und Häfen, verschwenderisch-luxuriöse Wohnungseinrichtungen, die Vergnügungen der lokalen Herrscher, prunkvolle Hotels im beginnenden Tourismus ebenso wie Szenen des Alltags: Straßenszenen, Hungersnot, übereifrige Missionare oder Bajaderen. Präzise technische Angaben und Datierungen machen das Werk zugleich zu einer eindrucksvollen Geschichte der frühen Fotografie. - Der Autor Joachim K. Bautze, Jahrgang 1952, ist Privatdozent für Indische Kunstgeschichte. Er promovierte und habilitierte an der Freien Universität Berlin. Nach fünfjähriger Arbeit am Institut für Indische Philologie und Kunstgeschichte der FU war er zehn Jahre Leiter des Arbeitsbereichs Kunstgeschichte am Südasien-Institut der Rupprecht-Karls Universität Heidelberg, darüber hinaus lehrte er in Japan Indische Kunstgeschichte. Ausstellungen, Vortragsreisen und internationale Fachkonferenzen führen ihn immer wieder nach Indien, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal oder Myanmar. Weit über hundert Publikationen gehören zu seinen Veröffentlichungen.“ (Verlagstext).
