Synopsis:

This publication highlights Vogel's contribution to early twentieth-century archaeology, including an introductory retrospective on nineteenth-century Indian archaeology. Vogel's vision towards preservation and restoration, the "art of fieldwork" and the educational display of archaeological exhibits in museums is extensively documented with photographic prints dating from 1870 to 1920. Vogel's diaries and letters not only shed a great deal of light on his archaeological activities, but also picture his unique position as a Dutch citizen operating in a society where neither the indigenous culture nor that of the colonial ruler was his own.
