In response for requests for ethnographical photographs for the London Exhibition of 1862, W.C. Erskine, Commissioner of Jabalpur, informs the Secretary to the Government of the North-West Provinces that, ‘Captain Browne, Deputy Commisioner of Saugor, has obtained promise of assistance from Lieutenants Gowan and Waterhouse, who work together. He informs me that they have lately returned from Bhopal, and executed many photographs of the beautiful ruins near Bhilsa.’[1]
