Frank Holland Collection: Photographs of India
- Scope & Content:
-
81 loose prints collected (and many probably taken) by Frank Holland during his career as a weaving master in India. The collection comprises 8 large prints, which are either duplicates of or have been removed from the album pages in Photo 1351/2, 72 smaller snapshots (enlargements of a few of which also appear in Photo 1351/2) and one loose snapshot of nurses on parade. This last presumably relates to Edith Holland's nursing work. The snapshots are of social and family subjects, as well as general views of Indian scenes. A few of the smaller prints have been captioned on the reverse, probably by Edith Holland in old age. Among the identified locations are Simla, Lucknow (the Residency, Royal Hotel), Agra (Taj Mahal), New Delhi, Gwalior, Singapore, Rangoon.
This part of the collection also houses a few miscellaneous papers and letters relating to Edith Holland's work in England with the Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem (late 1940s), and a newspaper death notice recording the death of Frank Holland at Southport on 30 January 1971.
