Architectural photographer in India who produced several important photographically illustrated books. The ‘History of Indian and Eastern Architecture' (London 1876), and ‘Architecture of Ahmedabad' (London 1866). For the Paris Exhibition of 1867, Fergusson was invited to organize a photographic display of Indian architecture. The 500 images represented only half of the extensive number of images that he had produced. The exhibition prompted the Indian Government to photographically document the architecture of the country and as a result a number of photographers were appointed to make this happen.
