The album contains a fine selection of portrait studies of Indian types and occupations all, with the exception of print 60, from northern Indian. Prints 1-39, by an unknown photographer, appear to have been photographed in the Kashmir region, particularly around Srinagar. Prints 40-61 are earlier views, many taken by Shepherd & Robertson around 1863 in the Delhi. Several of these latter also appear in vol. IV of John Forbes Watson's The People of India (1869). |
