Anson, George (1797-1857). British Army major-general and Whig politician, appointed Commander-in-Chief in India in 1856Biblio.com

SIGNED CLOSE by GEORGE ANSON British Army major-general and Whig politician appointed Commander-in-Chief in India in 1856 with an ENGRAVED PORTRAIT.

185633583circa 1856- 57. 1856- 57. Very good. - Signature on a piece of vellum approximately 1-3/4 inches high by 5-1/2 inches wide clipped from the close of a document. Signed "George Anson" beside his printed title "General / Commander-in-Chief / East Indies". Together with an engraved portrait of Anson 3-3/4 inches high by 2-1/4 inches wide. There is a tiny area of soiling to the portrait's bottom edge. Very good. British army officer George Anson 1797-1857 was promoted to the rank of C in 1853. The following year he was appointed to the command of the Madras Army and in early 1856 became Commander-in-Chief in India. He caused resentment by his bias against the Indian Army and its sepoys. He was quoted as saying that he could never see a sepoy sentry "without turning away in disgust at his unsoldierlike appearance". Anson's appointment coincided with the tensions leading up to the Indian Mutiny of 1857. In May 1857 he sent troops to secure the arsenals in the Punjab. He intended to join the Meerut Brigade and to press on to retake Delhi but four days into the march he died of cholera at the age of 59. circa [1856- 57]. hardcover

14th Kings Hussars in India Group shots. Albumen photographs

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

Sketches illustrating the manners and customs of the Indians and Anglo Indians.

1842M2ACVI942UQXLondon: Thomas McLean 1842. Contemporary half calf with cloth sides gold tooled title on front cover. Large folio 545 x 375 cm. With 6 hand coloured lithograph plates and a lithographed title. First and only edition of an ethnographic study of native Indian people by William Tayler 1808-1892 who was at that time Acting Salt Agent of the Central Division of Cuttack for the East India Company. He dedicated his work to "Lady William Bentinck" born Lady Mary Acheson 1809-1850 who was the wife of the Governor-General of India. The illustrations were drawn by Tayler himself who was an amateur artist and drew much of the Indian daily life that he encountered. He selected the present 6 drawings to be published and had them lithographed by J. Bouvier. The first 3 plates not only show the ways of Indian people but even more so the luxurious life of the English in India. The first plate The Young Civilian's Toilet shows a young man relaxing while being treated by several servants who are named Anglo-Indians. The room is strewn with objects of leisure. The next 2 plates The Young Ladies Toilet & The Breakfast show equal scenes. The other 3 plates are more ethnographic in nature showing native Indians in their everyday life: Women grinding at the mill; the Sunyasees Sannyasis & The village barber. Tayler later became a controversial figure for his excessively harsh oppression of Indian people when he was the commissioner of Patna.Spine and covers slightly worn pages a little frayed some foxing on the text pages.
