19491247721949. New Delhi: February 1949. <br /> <br /> Printed invitation on a letterhead sheet with typewritten additions approximately 10 x 15 cm. Printed dinner seating plan on letterhead sheet approximately 12 x 19 cm. In fine condition attractively framed together. Frame measures 32 x 27 cm. Not examined out of frame. Original mailing envelope for the invitation is affixed to the back of the frame in a plastic sleeve. <br /> <br /> § Carefully preserved mementos of a large formal dinner held by Jawaharlal Nehru Prime Minister India belonging to one of the guests Mr Franklin Holley a member of the United States Foreign Service. The dinner took place a year and a half after the partition of India at a time when India was still a dominion in the British Commonwealth of Nations and the United Nations was engaged in an ill-fated attempt to mediate the dispute between India and Pakistan over Kashmir.<br /> <br /> Thirty guests are named on the seating plan; a spread of nationalities and an almost even mix of men and women. The identity of Mr Holley has proved elusive but it is clear that many of the others present were closely involved in the question of Kashmir including the Prime Minster of Jammu and Kashmir Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah Deputy Prime Minister Ghulam Mohammad Baskshi and former Prime Minister N. Gopaliswami Ayyangar then Nehru's Minister of Transport. Also present were members of the United Nations Commission for India and Pakistan: Erik Colban Norway Dr. Alfredo Lozano Colombia Carlos Alberto Leguizamon Argentina Harry Graeffe Belgium and the Americans J. Klahr Huddle and Robert Van de Kherchove.<br /> <br /> Other guests included Ward P. Allen advisor to the United States delegation to the United Nations Robert Macatee former US Consul General in Jerusalem and a 19 year old Lady Pamela Mountbatten.<br /> <br /> The reason for Mr Franklin Holley's presence at this illustrious gathering is so far a mystery. The only small trace of him we have found is a short news item in the April 1950 issue of The Foreign Service Journal: "Last year Franklin Holley FSS Foreign Service Specialist contracted polio while stationed in New Delhi India. He was replaced be Miss Cleo B. Hall. Now fully recovered Mr. Holley has been assigned to Madras India. He replaces his former replacement Miss Cleo B. Hall! unknown

19332881<p>7 x 11-3/4 inches. 28 leaves containing 52 b&w photographs and three blue photographs as well as 17pp of holograph poetry written in white on the black leaves and two hand-painted color illustrations. Black hardcover post-bound album stamped in gilt. A few photos starting to come loose else fine. Very Good or better.</p><p>An exquisite photograph album about the travels through Kashmir of one man and two women -- all white possibly British inscribed only to "Auntie Gillmore" -- filled with vernacular photographs of the countryside and local people. Nearly all of the photographs are captioned and the three blue photos appear to be made after the method devised by Frank A. Perrett to photograph volcanoes in the early 1900s rather than being cyanotypes.</p><p>The trio's journey is narrated in rhymed poetry written by the man of the group as revealed on the last page: "The author of the photographs / And also of the paragraphs / Is standing on the Kamri Pass / Complete with alpenstock and glass. / He hears you say 'The verse might be / A little better' but you see / His job lies not in making rhymes / It's more prosaic and the times / When he is bold enough to write / His thoughts in measured words are quite / Rare and few and far between: / Hence all the nonsense you have seen."</p><p>The poetry in this cataloguer's estimation could indeed be better but it nevertheless illuminates the trio's travels which begin in Srinagar and proceed through the Sind Valley and the Kamri Pass. Included are gorgeous shots of Mt. Nanga Parbat Srinigar waterways a market stall a rice barge converted into a houseboat Gurais and much more. Additionally two illustrations one of a flower and one of a pair of colorful hummingbirds have been painted with a deft hand on two leaves.</p><p>A handsomely-produced record of a remarkable journey through 1930s Kashmir.</p> hardcover
