19038569<p>First edition of this rather extraordinary survey of Curzon's many appearances in caricature in Hindi Punch and other Indian comic papers where he often appears in Indian dress and frequently as various Hindu deities notably Ganesh. 'This unpretentious little book is offered as a humble souvenir of the Delhi Durbar: in its pages our popular Viceroy as representative in the great Coronation Durbar of the greatest monarch of modern times is the central figure. In a land of her-worship it is not to be marvelled that the energy versatility and strong personality of Lord Curzon added to his many loveable traits should lend themselves easily to the genius of the Indian artist for caricaturing' author's Preface.</p><p>Despite this warm introduction Curzon was subject to both approval and dissent through these images. The satire of British comic publications like Punch was enthusiastically appropriated by Indian artists - and India itself was frequently represented through the figure of Mr Punch - though their caricatures were also influenced by Indian artists such as Raja Ravi Varma. It is a fascinating fusion.</p><p>4to 248 × 158 mm pp. 2 2 48 4 adverts for Hindi Punch etc plus lithograph forntispiece numerous caricatures to text. Original lithographic boards.

190775557N.p.: N.p. 1907-1912. This officer was on the rise apparently as he was constantly moved from camp to camp. The album contains 214 original silver gelatin photographs. When he started the officer was based in India and up until photograph 154 all of the pictures are of sights in India Ceylon Mauritius and Rangoon. Thankfully very few of these are family portraits as the officer seemed to delight in the local people and terrain. He is next situated in Pretoria at King's Hill Harrismith. He seemed to have a relaxing time there mainly lounging around the army camp and a very nice one at that Robert's Heights. It was founded around 1905 by the British Army and called Robert's Heights after Field Marshal Lord Roberts. There are numerous captains and generals named in the album but we could not discern the photographer's name but we do know he was a avid golfer. While in Ceylon he took photographs of many of the greens at that course. He did this again in South Africa. There are also numerous photographs of the whole brigade in formation and on exercises. Included but not bound in are eight large photographs 11 1/2 x 9 1/4 inches mainly of military formations. Also included are five medium sized 8 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches photographs and these are of a more domestic nature. Most of the photographs in the album are 4 3/4 x 3 3/4 inches and the vast majority of them are captioned. All housed in the original album of half red roan over red cloth. A few photographs loose from their stubs but hanging in there front joint split but the album still holding together. Really an essay could be written about this album but the cataloger ran out of time. N.p. hardcover
