Title:

Medley Collection: Carte-de-visite album belonging to Adelaide Charlotte Medley.

Scope & Content:

Carte-de-visite photograph album measuring 302 x 242 mm, bound in full calf, with tooled decoration and initials 'A.C.M.' [Adelaide Charlotte Medley] stamped in gilt on front cover. The binding is fragile, with spine partially detached. The album contains 203 carte-de-visite portraits and topographical views, inserted in oval and rectangular aperture mounts. The majority of the sitters are identified by pencilled captions on the album page or on the reverse of the print.

Adelaide Caroline Medley (b. Allahabad 1838), daughter of Colonel James Steel, Bengal Infantry, married Lieutenant-General (then Lieutenant) Julius George Medley (1829-1884) at Simla on 9 August 1858. Medley served in the Royal (Bengal) Engineers from 1847-84. The majority of the portraits in the collection are of military colleagues. For a full biographical note, see George William De Rhe-Philipe, 'A List of Inscriptions on Christian Tombs or Monuments in the Punjab, North-West Frontier Province, Kashmir and Afghanistan' (part 2, biographical notices, Lahore, 1912).
