"Skeen & Co. Commercial photographers in Ceylon (Sri Lanka), 1860-c.1920. Trading as S. Slinn & Co. until 1869, the firm came to dominate the photographic scene in Ceylon. Under William Louis Henry Skeen (1847-1903), it produced a comprehensive stock of views of the island, including an important record of railway construction from the 1860s. The firm's establishment coincided with the expansion of the island's plantation economy, and its output includes a particularly extensive record of every aspect of tea production and other agricultural activities. A successful Burmese branch, managed by William's brother Frederick, and trading as Watts & Skeen, was established in Rangoon in 1887."

"One of the early pioneers of photography, Linnaeus Tripe (1822-1902) is celebrated for his illuminating photographs of notable architecture, monuments, landscape views and artifacts of India and Burma in the mid-1850`s. His photographs were meant to provide a new form of record for government officials as much as to satisfy the British public`s enthusiasm for unfamiliar cultures.Captain Linnaeus Tripe (1822-1902), an army officer in the employment of the East India Company, served in the Indian Army. In the 1850s when he became photographer to the British Colonial Government in India, his first assignment was as official photographer to the diplomatic mission headed to the Burmese capital, Amerapoora. At this time, the Court of Directors of the East India Company was moving away from using draughtsmen to record views and people, subscribing more and more to the idea that photography was a more economical and accurate way to record visual information. By 1854 all colonial governments in India had been ordered to use photographers rather than draughtsmen. The slow calotype process  meant that photographs of people in action were not possible."
The Tripe scholar and historian Janet Dewan has undertaken a remarkable work of scholarship. In addition to having established Tripe`s authoritative chronology, Janet Dewan has provided a biography and has reproduced original documents that will provide a factual basis for future critical interpretation. Full descriptions and references for each of Tripe`s one thousand and sixty images are supplemented by commentary, maps and plans. The Art Gallery of Ontario takes great pride in publishing the comprehensive catalogue raisonne of Linnaeus Tripe`s images."
