Title:

Miscellaneous views of India, mainly Calcutta. Photographer(s): Unknown

Scope & Content:

Collection of loose modern copy prints from originals (probably in an album) of unknown source. The original captions on the prints have been included with the copy prints. The majority of the views show scenes in and around Calcutta, although there are a few views (prints 18-21) from further afield. There are no acquisition details, and the originals were presumably loaned for copying by a private owner.

Process = Gelatine silver prints
