Résumé:
This book is a selection of virtually unkown and brilliant photographs of India made between 1857 and 1911. Many have never been seen outside of the archives from which they were gathered. The images refelct the British curiosity about every aspect of Indian life and the subtle way in which the imperial presence coloured the customs and manners of an exotic, foreign land.

Résumé:
Gardens of Sand is an editorial project compiling 100 original photographs, mostly unpublished, taken between 1859 and 1905. The archive illustrates the themes and specialities of the expatriate photographers of the second half of the Nineteenth Century: study portraits, Royal commission s, landscapes, inventories of significant monuments and buildings, orientalist scenes, steeped in classical European imagination. Nevertheless, the project also explores the confrontation between these pioneers and what was foreign to the West, between Western imagination and the visual reality of the Middle East, a meeting which ended up giving rise to a local photography, gradually moving further away from Western stereotypes.
