187724159Bangalore India 1877. Very good condition. Four large albumen photographs with pen and ink decoration surrounding them of the famed Victorian light cavalry regiment known as the Hussars in India. The albumen photographs on the front are: a portrait of three relaxed officers lounging in uniform on the terrace of a colonial building in India captioned in ink in a period hand "McBurn Capt. Malone and Hon.ble H. G. Gough". The two men at the left wear small round caps; the man at the right sits with one leg flung over the arm of his chair. The second image is a large group portrait of the regiment in civilian dress including wives and Indian servants at the colonnaded facade of an imposing building captioned "XIV Hussars Group Mess House Bangalore 1877". Below this image an unidentified member of the regiment and his wife are portrayed in a charming pen and ink cartoon of the couple in a row boat with a clipped photo of their faces pasted in. On the verso an impressive private residence with British women waiting in a horse drawn carriage at the portico and Indian servants is captioned in period ink "General Macintyre's House Secunderabad". Below is another image of a grand residence with a curved façade on which is painted a sign "The Deanery 1877". It is captioned in period hand "Mr. Dean's house. North Trimulgherry". Both of these large albumen photographs are decorated with hand drawn pen and ink borders. According to an autobiography by Edwin Mole entitled 'A King's Hussar: Being the Military Memoirs for Twenty-five Years of a Troop-sergeant-major of the 14th King's Hussars' the regiment's horses were being newly imported from Australia. The new hardier breed dubbed "Walers" were imported from New South Wales to replace the existing stock from England which was suffering in the harsh climate. Sgt. Mole was sent to Australia as part of a commission to supervise the breeding of the stock of "Walers". The four prints laid down on card stock 11 ½ x 18". 3 of the 4 albumen images 11 ¼ x 9; one image 5 1/2 x 4" unknown

The large photos were taken by W. Rahn according to the memoirs of Peshawar Column officer Richard Thomsett we had a photographer named Rahn with the column and he accompanied us until we arrived at Ali Masjid in December 1897 when an accident necessitated his returning to India. Rahn was a German who had come out to the East some twenty years before and seemed to be ubiquitous for wherever we were there he was with his camera ready and I must say he took some very excellent pictures.The present album also includes 43 smaller gelatin photos with manuscript captions for 10 of them on a small piece of paper perfectly describing the photos on leaves 5 and 9 of the album.
