Title:

William Johnson, 'The Oriental Races and Tribes, Residents and Visitors of Bombay. A Series of Photographs, with Letter-press Descriptions. Vol. I.—Gujarat, Kutch, and Kathiawar.' (London: W. J. Johnson, 83 and 121 Fleet Street; and Bolton and Barnitt, 146, Holborn Bars. 1863). Photographer(s): William Johnson

Scope & Content:

Full red leather bound volume measuring 447 mm x 330 mm, with title and portrait of a seated Indian figure stamped in gilt on upper board, and elephant on rear board, and with additonal blind stamped decorations. Inscribed Received from Registrar May 28 1866 on front fixed endpaper. Binding repaired by Winstanley of Salisbury, 1978. The volume was originally in the European Printed Books Collection (pressmark X.493) and was transferred to Prints and Drawings Section in 1996.

From the introduction: 'Photographic delineations of the numerous Peoples and Tribes frequenting - '(This) Bombay's wealthy isle and harbour fam'd; Supine beneath the shade of cocoa groves' - have long been desiderata both among the students of Geography and Ethnography, and the lovers of Art, notwithstanding partial attempts to supply them made by various local amateurs. The present endeavour to meet the wants of the public in this matter will, it is hoped, meet with indulgence and acceptance. The collection of Negatives procured for the present work was made with great labour, and in many instances with no little persuasion addressed to the scrupulous personages, whose effigies have been successfully delineated by the solar ray.'
