Biographical / Historical:
Samuel Bourne and Charles Shepherd were British photographers active in India in the mid-to-late 19th century. Bourne's career began with his arrival in Calcutta in 1863. In Simla, he formed a partnership with two established photographers, Shepherd and Howard (likely William Howard). Howard soon left, and within a few years, Bourne & Shepherd had become the most successful firm in the subcontinent, with their work widely distributed throughout India and in Britain. Two additional studios were opened in Calcutta (1867) and Bombay (1870). Bourne departed in 1870 and was replaced as principal photographer by Colin Murray. Shepherd returned to England in 1879. The firm changed ownership numerous times in the early 20th century and currently operates under the same name in Calcutta -- perhaps the oldest photographic studio still in operation.
"Durbar" is a Moghul term which came to be applied to the great ceremonial gatherings held in Delhi and other locations during the time of the British Empire, usually for the purpose of showing loyalty to the crown. The Delhi Durbar, translated as "Court of Delhi," refers to three such gatherings held at Coronation Park, Delhi , in 1877, 1903 and 1911, to celebrate the coronation of a new King and Queen of the United Kingdom. Organized by Lord Curzon, the Delhi Durbar of 1903 was by all accounts a truly dazzling two-week spectacle of pomp and pageantry, commemorating the ascension of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra as Emperor and Empress of India.

This collection consists of Walter Hough's notes on Korean photos collected by Pierre Jouy. The collection contains 40 leaves of handwritten notes describing 41 photographs.
Biographical / Historical:
Pierre Louis Jouy (1856-1894) was a collector of zoological and ethnological specimens for the Smithsonian Institution. In 1881 he traveled to Asia, where he spent a number of years collecting extensively in China, Japan and Korea.
American ethnologist Walter Hough began his career at the United States National Museum in 1886 as a museum assistant; he would serve in a number of positions before becoming a curator in 1910.
