PIGOU, WILLIAM HENRY (1817–1858)
English photographer
Dr. William Henry Pigou took over the task of recording
the ancient monuments of the Bombay Presidency from
Colonel Thomas Biggs in early 1856 and spent over a
year as Government Photographer on the project. Before
taking on this assignment, Pigou had been a member
of the Bombay Photographic Society (since 1854) and,
according to Biggs, had several years experience of
photography in India. Some fi ne landscape images by
Pigou also survive.
Using large format paper negatives (up top 16" ×
12"), post-waxed, Pigou’s work was, with a few publicly
criticised exceptions, precise, architecturally accurate,
and usually photographed under oblique lighting condi-
tions selected to reveal the intricate sculptured facades
which decorated many of these monuments.
His work, together with that of his predecessor and
his successor, was eventually published in India in
1866, subsidised by the Committee of Architectural
Antiquities in Western India, in Taylor and Henderson’s
Architecture in Dharwar and Mysore. Photographed
by the late Dr. Pigou, Bombay Medical Service, A. C.
B. Neill, Esq. and Colonel Biggs, Late of the Royal
Artillery. These large format portfolios—containing
tipped-in albumen prints—were published in London by
John Murray. Some of the photographs were later used
as the basis for the engravings which illustrated James
Fergusson’s History of Indian and Eastern Architecture,
also published by John Murray, in 1876.
John HannavyPIOT, EUGÈNE (1812–1890)
French photographer and publisher, collector, and
art historian
A wealthy amateur, Eugène Piot started practicing da-
guerreotype in 1840, when he traveled to Spain with his
friend Théophile Gautier (both were part of the Roman-
tic community which colonized the Rue du Doyenné, in
Paris in 1835). The poet mentioned this photographic
venture in his travelogue, Tras los Montes, but none of
Piot’s plates survived. A remarkable art connoisseur and
collector (he bequeathed his collections to the Institut
de France, the Bibliothèque Nationale, and the Louvre),
Piot traveled and photographed in Italy, Greece, and
the Near East.
His subjects are chiefl y architectural views related
to his artistic and archeological interest. He is mostly
known for publishing photographic albums a few
months before Blanquart-Évrard, to the surprise of
the photographic milieu. Familiar with publishing,
Piot created, in 1842, an art journal, Le Cabinet de
l’amateur et de l’antiquaire. In June 1851, he released
