His office was in Lahore, and he became deputy director general of the ASI between 1910 and 1912, during which time his job took him to Burma. Vogel was a scholar in Sanskrit and epigraphy (the study of ancient inscriptions), and served his office with enthusiasm and rigour. His collection of 10,000 survey photographs are now kept in the Kern Institute, Leiden, the centre of expertise in Indian archaeology set up by Vogel in 1924."

After the public announcement of the invention of the camera in 1839, photography spread swiftly round the world, and by the early 1850s the medium had become well-established in the Indian subcontinent. In a land characterized by the variety and splendour of its architecture and landscapes, and the diversity of its people and customs, India offered the photographic artist an unsurpassed range of subject matter. Drawn from the collections of The British Library, and Howard and Jane Ricketts, this work is illustrated with some of the finest photographs produced in India during the latter half of the 19th century, many never previously reproduced.

In this publication, many striking photographs from the Alkazi Collection trace the life & death of many of Lucknow"s impressive buildings & architectural complexes. Illuminated by the writings of distinguished historians & architects, the book reveals the significant connections between the two disciplines."
