Elgin Collection: Album of Indian trades and occupations. Photographer(s): Bourne, Samuel
- Scope & Content:
-
Maroon half-leather bound album measuring 305 x 390 mm with prints mounted one or two to the page and captioned in the negative. The album contains a fine selection of portrait studies of Indian types and occupations all, with the exception of print 60, from northern India. Prints 1–39, by an unknown photographer, appear to have been photographed in the Kashmir region, particularly around Srinagar. Prints 40–61 are earlier views, many taken by Shepherd and Robertson around 1863 in the Delhi. Several of these latter also appear in vol. IV of John Forbes Watson's 'The People of India' (London, 1869).
