- Title:
-
Indian Artware at the Colonial and Indian Exhibition. Photographer(s): Unknown
- Scope & Content:
-
Red quarter leather bound volume (modern rebinding carried out 1969) measuring 383x290mm, with prints mounted on original album leaves. The prints are uncaptioned apart from reference numbers written against many of the objects photographed, and a pencilled note in the hand of J.R. Royle states that these refer to the original exhibition invoices. It has not been determined whether this invoice list still exists.
The photographs consist of groups of objects illustrative of the arts and crafts of various regions of India, and include plates, vases and pots in metal, inlaid work, artefacts in ivory, shields, swords, firearms and other weapons (a large display from the Rao of Cutch), a complete colonnade in pietra dura from Agra, jewellery, carved wooden screens and doorways, sculptures of Hindu deities from Mysore, etc. Although the photographs lack detailed captions, the regions from which the objects originate is noted in many cases, and the majority of the items could probably be identified more fully by matching the prints up with the exhibition catalogue for the Indian Section (IOL T10284).
