Title:

Major-General Francis William Stubbs Collection: Album of portraits of Indian Army officers and Indian views. Photographer(s): Bamfield, Albert Henry

Scope & Content:

Red half-leather post bound album (modern binding, 1966) measuring 405x358mm, containing prints pasted down onto the page with handwritten caption in ink. The album contains portraits of military colleagues of the compiler (Francis William Stubbs, Bengal Artillery) and a number of small-format architectural and topographical views, including a five part panorama of Calcutta from the Ochterlony Monument. Prints 133-144 show scenes of military training, possibly at Shoeburyness.

While most of the prints are albumen prints, several of the portraits appear to have been taken on paper negatives and prints 25, 52 and 54 (and possibly others) are salt prints.
