Photo 1003(922)
Title:
Close view of rock inscriptions from Tusam, Hisar District. Photographer: Garrick, Henry Baily Wade
Scope & Content:
Another view of the inscription also seen in print 921. Credited to Cole in Bloch's list, but almost certainly one of the less successful efforts mentioned by Garrick. One side of the negative has been marked off as redundant.

Photo 1003(1141)
Title:
View of rock with Asoka inscriptions, showing eastern face with edicts I-XI, Shahbazgarhi, Peshawar District. Photographer: Beglar, Joseph Daviditch Melik
Scope & Content:
Similar viewpoint to print 1140, but a little more distant. Bloch describes this as a 'duplicate plate of smaller size,' but it is similar rather than a duplicate. It is unclear when Craddock (the photographer credited with prints 1140 and 1142) visited the site, but it was probably around the t...
