New French Original bdg. HC. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). Text in completely Persian. [70], 610, [1] p. Akbar Nameh: History of India Gurkanids. Vol. 1.= Akbarnâmah: Târîkh-i Gurkâniyân-i Hind. Jild-i Avval. Edited by Golam Reza Tabatabai Majd. Shaikh Abu al-Fazal ibn Mubarak, also known as Abu'l-Fazl, Abu'l Fadl and Abu'l-Fadl 'Allami was the Grand vizier of the Mughal emperor Akbar, and author of the Akbarnama, the official history of Akbar's reign in three volumes, (the third volume is known as the Ain-i-Akbari) and a Persian translation of the Bible. He was also one of the Nine Jewels (Hindi: Navaratnas) of Akbar's royal court and the brother of Faizi, the poet laureate of emperor Akbar. Shaikh Mubarak's first son, the poet Abu'l Faizi and his second son Abu'l Fazl were born in Agra. Abul Fazl's education began with Arabic and by the age of five he could read and write. His father started teaching him about all the branches of Islamic sciences (manqulat) but Fazl could not adhere to conventional learning and he sank in a state of mental depression. A friend rescued him from this state and he resumed his studies. Some incidents from his early life reflect on his brilliance. A dictionary of Ishafani, which had been eaten by white ants came under his observation. He removed the parts that had been eaten and joined blank paper to the rest. He discovered the beginning and end of each fragment and eventually penned a draft text. Subsequently, the entire work was discovered and on comparison to Fazl's draft the original differed in only two or three places. In 1599, Abu'l Fazl was given his first office, at Deccan, where he was recognized for his ability as a military commander. He came to Akbar's court in 1575 and was influential in Akbar's religious views becoming more liberal into the 1580s and 1590s. He also led the Mughal imperial army in its wars in the Deccan. Akbar also records witnessing the passage of the Great Comet of 1577.

1898ABC_457021898. 2 PARK Superintendent. 1898. Catalogue of photographs by Sergeant A.J. Clarke R.E. taken during Tirah Expedition 1897-1898. Kirkee Pune India Sappers and Miners' Press 1898. Small folio 22 x 14.5 cm 4 pp. With a lithographed title-page. Loosely inserted in the album. Collection of photographs taken by a British Indian Army officer who served in the Peshawar Column during the Tirah Expedition in the Northwest Frontier of India from June 1897 to April 1898 including a manuscript Key that identifies seven British officers that are in the first photo of the album and a list of captions to 10 photos in the album.The Tirah Expedition was aimed against the Afridi and Orakzai tribes in British Indias Northwest Frontier modern-day Khyber Pashtunkhwa province of Pakistan. One of many Northwest Frontier campaigns of British India the Tirah campaign concentrated on the area west and south of Peshawar in the mountainous region between the valleys of the Bara and Kohat Rivers. The album primarily documents the actions of the Tirah field forces Peshawar Column under command of Brigadier-General Arthur George Hammond 1843-1919 which followed the route of the Bara Valley.The present photo album contains 8 large albumen photos documenting the movement of the Peshawar Column. The large photos were taken by W. Rahn according to the memoirs of Peshawar Column officer Richard Thomsett we had a photographer named Rahn with the column and he accompanied us until we arrived at Ali Masjid in December 1897 when an accident necessitated his returning to India. Rahn was a German who had come out to the East some twenty years before and seemed to be ubiquitous for wherever we were there he was with his camera ready and I must say he took some very excellent pictures.The present album also includes 43 smaller gelatin photos with manuscript captions for 10 of them on a small piece of paper perfectly describing the photos on leaves 5 and 9 of the album. The album is supplemented with a rare 4-page brochure no doubt produced in a small print-run that lists 99 photos. About 20 have been marked by hand in pencil probably by the albums compiler. The brochure indicates that the present photos could be purchased from the Bombay Sappers and Miners.8 of the large photos have contemporary manuscript captions in ink on the mounts. 2 marks on the front paste-down reading "photographs by British Royal Engineers.

a104034Collection 75 original photographs 47 mounted in an album and all views identified plus 29 more unmounted and unidentified photographs laid in. All photos are small most 1-3/4 x 2-3/4 inches. All photos are of Ladakh many of Leh and Kargil two major cities in this Himalayan kingdom. One photo has date of 1921 so we assume all were taken around that time or at least in the early 1920s. Many of the unmounted photos are a bit too small and too dark to show much detail. Some of the identifications are written in ink and are easy to read but many are written in pencil and have faded making them harder to read. The album is quite worn but still intact and only 7 pages of the album have photos mounted - most of the leaves of the album are empty. Quite unusual. . unknown
