1905153020Lahore: Printed at the North Western Railway Press 1905-06. The Raj by rail Lavishly produced souvenirs of a six-month tour of India by the future George V and Queen Mary. Both are scarce: in the UK Cambridge holds a copy of each and we have traced a further copy of Time Table at Leiden. The 1905-06 royal visit was an opportunity for the prince and princess to broaden their imperial experience. The ambitious program included visits by rail to all four corners of India - Peshawar Rangoon Mysore and Karachi - and represented the most wide-ranging survey undertaken in India by any member of the royal family. "As with his father in 1875-6 he the prince was struck by the complacent sense of superiority of many of the white civil servants and on his return made a speech calling for 'a wider sympathy' on the part of the Indian Civil Service" ODNB. The success of the trip set the stage for the couple's return in 1911 for the coronation durbar the only durbar attended by a British monarch. The two brochures cover the legs from Bhatindi to Umballa Cantonment 28 November - 11 December 1905 and Delhi to Karachi Cantonment 8-17 March 1906 the last part of the tour. Besides detailed itineraries each includes views taken along the route such as the tomb of Ranjit Singh at Lahore the tunnel into the Upper Bolan Pass and the Chappar Rift Bridge.

Southern India Christian Missionary Photo Album of 110 Photographs Documenting Christian Medical College and Hospital Networks 1961

1961232281961. Southern India photo album documenting an international Christian missionary medical group around Vellore Karigiri Katpadi and Kanchipuram in 1961 many photographs captioned and identify individuals. The album showcases how missionary labor operated after the end of British rule through hospitals training schools religious ceremony and organized visits into village and temple spaces. Compiled by a French speaking participant within an international Christian medical network the album centers on institutions linked to Christian Medical College and Hospital Vellore where foreign and Indian personnel worked inside a system first developed under colonial era Protestant missions and then carried forward in postcolonial India through education nursing public health and evangelical presence. Photo archive of 110 Silver gelatin photographs mounted in a leather bound album most photos measure 3" x 4" album measures 9" x 12" Vellore Karigiri Katpadi Polambakkam and Kanchipuram Tamil Nadu dated by captions to 1961. Many identified individuals. Captioned pages identify "Vellore CMCH" "Christian Medical College and Hospital Vellore" and a "Soirée de remise du voile aux infirmières étudiantes de dernière année Sept. 61" showing large indoor assemblies of Indian nursing students in uniform at a veil ceremony for final year nurses. Other pages name hospital streets a guest house pavilion postman colleagues and an international group including participants identified by nationality including Argentina Belgium Venezuela Australia Thailand the United States England and South India. The album also moves beyond the hospital into the surrounding countryside and sacred landscape with rice cultivation and field irrigation at Karigiri village huts pastoral scenes cattle and goats potters fuel collection pigs and ducks a cyclist returning from Sunday mass the cathedral at Katpadi and multiple views of temples and priests at Kanchipuram. Handwritten French captions guide the viewer through these scenes including "inner courtyard of a temple" "Hindu priest explaining a point of his religion" "signing the temple guest book and giving the offering" and observations of sculpture yogis village labor and local children. The 19th to early 20th century saw an increase in Protestant missionary organizations in India with schools hospitals and women's medical training programs as response both to evangelical ambition and to colonial inequalities in health care access. By 1961 India was politically independent yet this album shows how missionary medicine still organized relations between Western visitors Indian Christian institutions and local Tamil communities. Overall very good condition. A strong record of postcolonial missionary medicine in southern India showing how colonial religious systems survived through healthcare education and cross cultural authority rather than formal imperial rule alone. unknown
