George Francklin Atkinson 1822–1859 was a captain in the Bengal Engineers and a skilled artist. He drew directly from his personal experiences in India and here he intended to offer a humorous satirical look at the lives of British colonials in India especially in the wake of the Sepoy Rebellion set in the fictional village of "Kabob" . The author's dedication is to the Victorian novelist and man of letters William Thackeray himself born in India and begs him to "accept this salute of my little craft as a trifling token of congeniality admiration and esteem". .

H14578Very Good. 10 examples of this traditional Indian art form based apparently in Kerala which uses the dried and tough peepal leaf Ficus religiosa or sacred fig to paint on. 3 of the leaves measure roughly 5 inches not including steam: one features a woman braiding another woman's hair a second features two women with one holding a small flowerpot the third shows a couple sitting under a tree with their infant child; the leaf showing an elephant uprooting a tree is about 7 inches long and there are six small floral paintings about 2.5 inches tall each. All mounted on black craft paper with wax paper overlays. We don't think these are very old but probably from the second half of the 20th century. unknown

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. <br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.
