Frank Holland Collection: Photographs of India
- Scope & Content:
-
32 folios with 66 mounted prints, from two disbound photograph albums, recording the life in India of Frank and Edith Holland (also containing a few views of Singapore, Burma and Europe), 1920s-40s. The photographs are uncaptioned, but include both enlargements of photographs presumably taken by Frank or Edith Holland (a few of which can be found in smaller format in Photo 1351/3), as well as professional-quality views. The collection contains numerous formally posed groups, presumably related to Frank Holland's professional life (in most of which he appears), scenes of travel in India, by car and boat, an extensive series of views of mountain scenery in northern India (probably documenting a hunting trip in Kashmir), social life (including golf), and architectural studies. Locations which can be identified include Nasik, Rangoon, Srinagar, Delhi, Gwalior.
Frank Holland (1890-1971) went to India in 1916 as Assistant Weaving Master at the Muir Mills Company , Cawnpore, and appears to have lived there until the 1940s.
