Photography arrived in the harbour city of Mumbai (erstwhile Bombay) as early as 1840, via trade, as well as through European explorers and government officials. With the establishment of India`s first Photographic Society in the city in 1854, the medium was used for documentation and later, even taught as an art form. Between the mid-nineteenth and early-twentieth century, Mumbai became one of the largest centres of photography`s patronage and dissemination in India, underscored by practitioners like Dr. Narayan Daji (c, 1828-1875), a medical doctor and brother to the acclaimed Indologist, Dr. Bhau Daji.
