William Henry Pigou is an Impressionism artist. 7 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

This guy lugged a giant glass-plate camera through southern India in the 1850s, dodging lizards and temple priests alike. The prints he made still feel like time machines—every chiseled horse and dancing Shiva frozen halfway through its 800-year yawn. Flip to “Hindoo Temple Sculptures, Southern India, Hullabeed” and you’ll see a lion’s paw so worn the stone looks soft enough to pet.
