- Photographs illustrating Thugee method of attacking victims. Photographer: Unknown
- Scope & Content:
-
Six loose albumen prints laid down on card mounts measuring 190 x 304 mm, each with the wetstamp of the Government School of Industry, Jubbulpore and signed B. Rogers, Captn., Superintendent. The collection comprises two copies of each of three posed reconstructions of the characteristic method of Thugee assassination: 1. approaching the victim from behind, 2. attacking him and 3. throttling him. Captain Brudenell Rogers of the Bengal Native Infantry is listed as being in civil employ in the Central Provinces in the 1871 India Office List, and this presumably supplies an approximate date for the taking of these photographs.
