Text engl. - "John Edward Sache was one of the more prominent 19th century European photographers in India . He began his career in America and then surfaced in Calcutta in 1865, where he formed a partnership with Westfield . He worked in Bombay in 1869, and then with Colin Murray until 1870. During the 1870's, Sache ran studios in Lucknow , Naini Tal, Meerut and Mussoorie. Sache left India in the early 1880's. Although a successful photographer, he is reputed to have copied photographs first taken by Samuel Bourne, re-photographing locations so precisely that they seem like original Bournes. He produced well over 1000 fine topographical views, architectural and portrait studies. This booklet documents his life and work; illustrated with a range of newly discovered portraits of him, pictures of his studios, and personal photographs of his wife and family; as well as an extensive catalogue of over 500 of his published topographical photographs".
