Abstract
Through this previously unresearched 19th-century album of photographs of one plantation in Ceylon (modern Sri Lanka), we learn about A.M. Ferguson, an influential colonial figure in Ceylon, and his connections to the plantation economy, RBG Kew, Director Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker, and the Museum of Economic Botany. As a cogent exemplar of an imaging of the plantation economy, this collection of twenty photographs activates an expansive enquiry that explores the purpose, impact and influence of the collection.
