Indian Pioneering Photography 1890


So ten minutes ago I registered on Lonely Planet forum, and two minutes ago after posting a 'thread'. I have my first contact in India.
My question was. Can anyone provide me with information on the Boners and Swates?
I have now been approached from a friend of a famous Sikh historian who is interested in publishing some of the 19 Century photographs in my possession, by the Indian pioneer photographer John Burke.
So yes, the forum works, and hopefully I will meet up with this contact in the coming months. The (part) photo above is from the late 1880's, and was taken by, or from the studios of F.B.Stewart.
Time for another historical question for the forum.....................
