Dalton, Commissioner of Chota Nagpore, responding to government request for information and photographs regarding peoples of India, notes that ‘Captain Nation, the Commandant of the 9th Bengal Police Battalion, is a fair Photographer, and would undertake the duty of supplying photographs of the peculiar tribes of the Province, provided he could be accommodated with the loan of a portrait lens which he has not got, his own apparatus being adapted only for landscapes’.[1]
