Title:

Robert Charles Case Collection: Negatives of Himalayan views. Photographer(s): Case, Robert Charles

Scope & Content:

Collection of duplicate negatives on modern safety film made from nitrate originals now destroyed. No prints have been made of this material. The collection can be broken down into two broad groups:

1-100 These photographs record a leave spent by Robert and Joan Case travelling in Sikkim during May 1941. A brief (and factually uninformative) account of this holiday expedition was published in The B.B. and C.I. Annual for 1941 (pp.26-31) under the title Simpletons in Sikkim.. A more personal typescript account of the journey can also be found in the Case papers, Mss Eur E335.

101-165 Miscellaneous views of India from the 1920s onwards, including modes of transport, landcsapes and architectural subjects. This material is similar to the general views in Photo 390/2. A certain amount of non-Indian material is also included here.

Robert Charles Case (d.1988) was an engineer on the Indian State Railways.
