Photoglob Co.

Photoglob Co. was a photographic reproduction and publishing firm active primarily during the concentrated period of 1885 to 1890. Although operating for only half a decade, the company produced important documentation of global architecture and travel scenes, specializing in high-quality photographic prints used for educational and commercial distribution.

Their output focused largely on reproductions of imagery captured by contemporary photographers. Several documented works, for instance, were published after photographs by Dr. Kurt Boeck, depicting late 19th-century street life and monuments across South Asia, including locations in India and Ceylon.

Ten photographic works attributed to Photoglob Co. are represented in major collections, including the Cleveland Museum of Art. These include detailed topographical plates such as India. Benares. Aurangzeb's Mosque, India. Calcutta. Harrison Road I with Group of Jogees, and the architectural study Agra. Diwan-i-Chas.

Due to the historical period of their operation, much of the firm's surviving work is now considered part of the public domain. This allows for the production of museum-quality reproductions and downloadable artwork, ensuring the preservation and accessibility of these historically significant travel photographs.
