Long Exposure: The Camera at Udaipur, 1857-1957

 
Arvind Singh Mewar (Foroward) Pramod Kumar K.G. (Author) Mrinalini Venkateswaran (Author)
Synopsis

Udaipur was one of the earliest places to record the appearance of a camera in India. Used first at the Court of Mewar during the reign of Maharana Bhim Singh (reigned 1778-1828), the camera was used to collect and preserve pictures. The photographic collections of the House of Mewar constitute a significant private archive that sheds light on the period of the rule of the Mewars in India under the British. This volume introduces the collection in its entirety, reproducing the numerous photographic exhibits along with an insightful commentary. The pictographic materials are wide in range including glass-plate negatives, card photographs, photomontages and painted photographs. The volume represents photographic processes like albumen, platinum and gelatine silver and cameras and other photographic equipment from the period as well.
