Title:

Elgin Collection: 'Spring Tours 1894–98'. Photographer(s): Bourne, Samuel

Scope & Content:

Brown full leather bound album measuring 457 x 380 mm containing prints mounted on page with newspaper cuttngs and other related ephemera. Some prints have handwritten captions, a number are captioned in the negative, the remainder uncaptioned. The majority of albums in the Elgin Collection deal with one year's events per volume. This first album presents a (very abbreviated) synopsis of the series, from Lord Elgin's arrival in Calcutta in 1894 to the arrival of his successor Lord Curzon and his own departure in 1899. Most of the photographs (in this and succeeding albums) relate to viceregal tours and the main events here documented are the visit to Gaya in Spring 1895 and to Buxar in January 1896. A large proportion of the remaining views are of Simla and the surrounding regions.
