Cont. green half-morocco gt. Extremities scuffed. <I>The Irishmen, Burke and Baker, were pioneer photographers in India where they spent much of their time in the raw and dangerous landscapes of the North-West. They shunned the social high-life of the country and their work is more revealing and historically important than that of other European photographers working in India during the 19th Century. Photographs by Burke and Baker are seldom seen outside albums such as this, and complete albums are now rare.,
