1926D14301926. Very Good. Grey cloth over boards 9.75” x 7.5” with “Photographs” blindstamped on upper board; 23 grey heavy cardstock leaves 17 of which feature tipped-on black-and-white photographs 90 images in all most of them 3” x 4” though some are a bit larger or smaller with handwritten notations. Fine – a careful and tidy collection of photographs all neatly tipped-on labeled and dated by hand. <br/><br/>Images of Agra the Taj Mahal shrines palaces schools streets tombs Sikri Delhi Tughlagabad Lahore camel caravans Peshawar bazaars Khyber Pass Kashmir – to list everything in this far-reaching journey would be a disservice to the reader. Comprised mostly of landscapes and images of the Indian people some elements of the personal do crop up here and there: Our author is featured in only one photograph – he sits on horseback with traveling companions also on horseback and this 2” x 3” image is labeled “Self / Lottery Henry / Tommy Alice / The Wallaby” ostensibly identifying his friends and their horses; Henry will appear again tiny against a landscape labeled “The End Pavillion Chasma Shahi Henry looking for bear.” Where it is light on the candid it remains a diligent record – every image is identified and all are crisp and clear studiously photographed. A pleasing and unique volume. hardcover books
