Title:

Sir Richard Carnac Temple Collection: Photographs of Burma and Ceylon. Photographer(s): Oertel, Frederick Oscar

Scope & Content:

Cloth-bound album measuring 278 x 370 mm, with 'Photographs' stamped in gold on front cover, uniform with Photo 242/1 and 2, in a poor state of repair. The majority of views show Buddha images and other devotional pieces from Burma, including a number of views taken at Kawgun Cave near Moulmein. Some of the views show pieces from Temple's own collection. Only 2 prints (51-2) show scenes in Sri Lanka. Most of the photographs by Oertel can also be found in 'Notes on a Tour in Burma in March and April 1892' (Rangoon, 1893).

Sir Richard Carnac Temple (1850-1931), Indian Army officer, administrator in Burma and the Andaman Islands and writer on anthropological subjects.
