A propose this question, may I bring to the attention of interested colleagues a lovely and very informative book by my colleague <span>Gerda Theuns-de Boer which, however, may have come in below the radar:<br><br></span>A Vision of Splendour, Indian Heritage in the Photographs of Jean Philippe Vogel, 1901- 1913<br>
<strong>ISBN:</strong> 978 094 414 2745<br>Mapin Publishing, 2008. <br><br>A summary:<br><strong class="field-label"></strong>
  
          <p>In January 1901 the Dutch 
Sanskritist Jean Philippe Vogel (1871 - 1958) entered the Archaeological
 Survey of India to direct the activities for the Panjab, Baluchistan 
and Ajmir Circle - later amalgated into the Panjab and United Provinces 
Circle. An interesting period, as the survey stood on the threshold of 
renewal. Jean Philippe Vogel proved by personality and scholarship the 
right man to assist in realizing the gradual professionalization of 
Indian archaeology.</p>
<p>This book highlights Vogel’s contribution to early 20th century 
archaeology, including an introductory retrospect study on 19th-century 
Indian archaeology. It provides extensive photographic documentation, 
prints dating from 1870 to 1920, presented in their art- and 
photo-historical context. It discusses Vogel’s visionary ideas in the 
field of preservation and restoration, research and care for museum 
collections. Vogel’s diaries and letters are valuable resources that 
allow for an interesting conclusion on social relations within the 
so-called “archaeological family”, picturing the Dutch citizen Vogel 
moving around in India’s colonial society, discussing his thoughts on 
both “Englishmen” and “natives”. With special references to Vogel’s 
explorations and excavations in Gandhara, The Punjab Hill States 
(Chamba), Kasia (Kusinagara), Saheth-Maheth (Sravasti) and Mathura; it 
also includes a chronology on Vogel’s archaeological activities.</p><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Oct 21, 2011 at 10:14 AM, Elliot M. Stern <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:emstern@verizon.net">emstern@verizon.net</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>
