Nawab Oomra Dulha. (Her late husband.) Bhopal. [Incorrect caption, should read: Foudjar Mahomed Khan, and sons.] Photographer: Waterhouse, James
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Ethnographical Photography
Full-length seated portrait of three figures, Foudjar Mahomed Khan seated in centre. Another copy of this print at Photo 355/9 (20) is captioned according to the corrected title above. This would seem to be correct, since it corresponds precisely with Waterhouse's own descriptive notes of the dress of Foudjar Mahomed Khan.(Government of India Foreign Consultations (General), July 1863, p. 45, IOR/P/205/4). There remains one further anomaly: while Photo 355/9 (20) describes the younger men as the sons of Foudjar Mahomed Khan, Waterhouse's description identifies one as 'elder son of Foudjar Mahomed Khan', and the other as the 'younger son of Faiz Mahomed Khan'. This is probably simply an error of transcription, since the family resemblance between the men is unmistakable and both wear identical clothing. Prints 392 and 394 should be transposed.
