Photograph album compiled by a soldier serving in India. Photographer(s): Unknown
- Scope & Content:
-
Snapshot album compiled by an unidentified soldier serving in India (not apparently connected with other items in Photo 1351). The album contains 392 small prints, mostly captioned, a mixture of amateur and purchased work compiled (from the evidence of dated images) between 1926 and 1936. Subjects include photographs of the Bombay Riots of 1935-36, an extensive series of views recording the aftermath of the Quetta Earthquake of May 1935 and miscellaneous views from locations which include Jullunder, Landi Kotal (1926), Muzzaffapur, Dinapur, Darjeeling (1929), Nagpur (1935), Kampti, Pachhmarhi, Jabalpur, Calcutta, Delhi, Ahmadnagar. The military subject matter of many of the photographs indicates that the compiler was probably a private soldier in India in the 1920s and '30s.
