Clicking up the pieces
I’ve been meaning to post a link to this Times of India article, written last summer. The article discusses the current situation of the Bourne and Shepherd studio, the oldest photography studio in the world, and still in operation. A fire tore through the inventory of negatives in 1991, and the studio’s current owner Jayant Gandhi is currently trying to piece together the vast archive of the studio through the various Bourne collections around the world. An attempt to establish the studio as a heritage building is underway.
