India Office Library. Commonwealth Relations Office. Catalogue of European Printed Books. Complete set 10 volumes

1964BIBLIO-01781G. K. Hall & Co Boston 1964 reprint. 10 vols cloth folio 358 x 260 mm. pp. About 90000 entries. A massive catalogue of the printed books in European languages in the India Office Library including many rarities and very comprehensive coverage of material on the British Raj. The European Printed Books collection was originally part of the library set up by the Honourable East India Company in 1801 to safeguard books entrusted to it by its servants and others. The Company's Directors soon began to collect actively rather than just receiving material and from the outset made their stock available to orientalist scholars as well as maintaining and augmenting it as an official reference resource. After the demise of the Company in 1858 its responsibilities were taken over by the newly-established India Office and coverage started to concentrate on material relating to the Indian sub-continent and its affairs together with those of Burma. The European Printed Books collection holds a considerable amount of extremely rare Indian and UK material and is the primary repository for material on the history of British India. Contents : Vols 1-2: Sheaf catalogue A-Z. Vols 3 - 6: Author catalogue A-Z. Vols 7 - 9 : Subject catalogue A-Z. Vol 10: Catalogue of periodicals. Accessions until 1936 were included in an Author catalogue in sheaf form in which entries from twenty-two volumes of uncumulated printed catalogues and printed supplementary accessions lists were pasted in a single alphabetical sequence. In 1936 the cataloguing system was reorganised; all subsequent accessions were entered in two card catalogues one Author the other Subject. The present work accordingly reproduces a the whole of the Author sheaf catalogue containing accessions to 1936 in Volumes 1 and 2 and b in Volumes 3-9 the Author and Subject card catalogues containing accessions from 1936 to the end of 1963 together with some recatalogued pre-1936 accessions and c periodical publications as a separate sequence at the end of the Author card catalogue Volume 10. A Very Good ex-library set. The library markings are :stamps on top and bottom edges small spine labels and partly removed labels from the front free endpapers. Otherwise Very Good some covers a little scuffed. G. K. Hall & Co, Boston, 1964 reprint hardcover

India Red Light District and Brothel Regulation Photo Archive 1958

1958231781958. Bombay red light district photographs of women seated in brothel doorways gathered in interior rooms and receiving male visitors circa 1958 recording the sex trade as it operated in post independence India under the combined pressures of urban poverty migration and state regulation. Drawn from a merchant marine album and anchored by a source page marked 1958 the group preserves an outsider's view of brothel based sex work at the moment when independent India's Suppression of Immoral Traffic in Women and Girls Act had just come into force. British rule had already concentrated prostitution into regulated urban zones in Bombay with districts such as Kamathipura shaped by segregation policing and the management of commercial sex. The 1956 law effective 1 May 1958 targeted brothel keeping procuring and related activities without removing the economic structures that kept poor women in the trade. <br /> Photo archive of 17 silver gelatin photographs each 2.75" x 4" Bombay India circa 1958. Several images show women in saris seated on stone thresholds and steps outside narrow ground floor rooms watching the street conversing with one another or facing the camera from darkened doorways. Other photographs move inside the premises where a group of young women pose on a sofa beneath patterned wallpaper one beside a Western man holding a camera while another interior view shows several women crowded before a wall mirror with the same man visible in reflection behind them. Street level exterior views record a worn multistory building with open upper windows shuttered lower bays pedestrians passing and an automobile and hand pulled or cycle traffic in front fixing the brothel within a dense commercial streetscape rather than an isolated interior world. One of the most arresting images shows a white clothed man carrying a tray as he faces several figures in a narrow passage potentially showcasing the work surrounding and upkeeping the trade.<br /> The archive belongs to a longer history in which Bombay's sex districts were formed under colonial urban governance and continued after 1947 as sites where caste class migration policing and women's labor met in highly unequal ways. These photographs show the raw historical context of such professions with women waiting at entrances living in cramped quarters and occupying semi public thresholds where domestic space commercial exchange and street visibility collapse into one another. Light surface wear small edge chips and album glue residue en verso. Overall very good condition. The album context fixed 1958 dating and repeated views of the same doorway spaces make this a concise photographic record of brothel based sex work in postcolonial Bombay. unknown
