J. Baker was assistant to J.W. Newland in 1855. J. Baker's daguerreotype studio is recorded in Wellesley Place, Calcutta in 1858 and continued by R.W. Baker from 1860-68. It became the Calcutta Photographic Company in 1869, although the firm's negative stock had been purchased by Saché & Westfield.
