In January 1901, the Dutch Sanskritist Jean Philippe Vogel
(1871-1958) entered the Archaeological Survey of India to direct
the activities for the Panjab, Baluchistan and Ajmir Circle-later
amalgated into the Panjab and United Provinces Circle. An
interesting period, as the survey stood on the threshold of
renewal. Jean Philippe Vogel proved, by personality and
scholarship, the right man to assist in realising the gradual
professionalisation of Indian archaeology. This book highlights
Vogel's contribution to early 20th-century archaeology, including
an introductory retrospect study on 19th-century Indian
archaeology. It provides extensive photographic documentation,
prints dating from 1870 to 1920, presented in their art and
photo-historical context. It discusses Vogel's visionary ideas in
the field of preservation and restoration, research and care for
museum collections. Vogel's diaries and letters are valuable
resources that allow for an interesting conclusion on social
relations within the so-called "archaeological family", picturing
the Dutch citizen Vogel moving around in India's colonial society,
discussing his thoughts on both "Englishmen" and "natives". With
special references to Vogel's explorations and excavations in
Gandhara, The Punjab Hill States (Chamba), Kasia (Kusinagara),
Saheth-Maheth (Sravasti) and Mathura; it also includes achronology
on Vogel's archaeological activities.
