Greetings, For those interested, there's been a more photos added to the Patna/Dumaria page, and a new page on the Ajabpur/Banskhoh family has been uploaded. Both can be accessed from the following URL... http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~royalty/files/pix_india_idx.html Cheers, Henry PS When did photography start in India? I was just wondering if there are any photos of the Mughal Emperor around.

Thanks for the photo collection. My family has many photo collections of Kolahapur, Miraj and Jath Dynasties back home in india.

There is a very sad photo of the aged Bahadur Shah taken in exile after his deposition, lying on a couch, apparently smoking a hookah, and looking thoroughly depressed. I have seen it in "A Second Paradise - Indian Courtly Life 1590-1947" by Naveen Patnaik, published by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, N Y, 1985. It may have been published elsewhere as well. The caption says "Attributed to P H Egerton, ca 1858". The Emperor had an obviously broken nose. How did it happen? -- Chris Pitt Lewis
