The great photographers who made history for their portraits of the sleepy world of colonial India are mainly Samuel Bourne, Scowen, Murray, Klier, Beato. A quick overview on their works and those attributed to them refer to the relentless pursuit of the originals now in conditions to be considered as borderline about their presentability. This does not detract anything from the importance of the historic origin the “Asian Reportage Photography” based on the exhibition of the albumin originals next to the copies from which they are drawn. The exhibition aims to satisfy two different and perfectly compatible ways in order to take advantage of the importance and fascination of these pictures. A unique picture of the colonial world with the photographer’s effort to document the world. A winning combination where the didactic need is dominant for those who want to know, imagine and travel with pictures of the world that has been frozen by the click of the photographer and soon after it will not be the same.
