ref. P95Oblong Folio album ca. 24x35 cm. 12 card stock leaves. With 96 mounted gelatin silver photographs mostly printed as real photo postcards all ca. 85x135 cm 3 ¼ x 5 ¼ in. All but ten photos with period white ink captions on the mounts. With a large loosely inserted gelatin silver photo ca. 20x30 cm 7 ¾ x 11 ¾ in. Period black cloth album with a gilt-tooled vignette “The Photo Gallery” on the front board. Captions slightly faded one photo has been previously removed from the album but overall a very good album with interesting strong images. Attractive collection of well-preserved vivid photographs of British colonial residents going on big game hunting trips in central and southern India in the 1920s. The images illustrate a 1921 hunting trip to the Nilgiri Mountains the areas near Ooty Avalanche Lake and modern-day Mudumalai National Park a 1923 safari to the Godavari River valley near Karimnagar a 1926 trip to the “Kanara jungle” near “Bilki” Bilaki and “Chipgiri” Chipageri both in the state of Karnataka near the modern-day Sharavati Valley Wildlife Sanctuary and a 1925 trip to the Wardha River valley on the Central Plains. There are also several photos from a fishing trip to the Nilgiri Mountains in 1923. Most photos show the British hunters “self” “Harry” “Bill” and their trophies – tigers including “maneaters” bison elephants bears caught fish a panther and a chinkara antelope. There are also interesting images of a “view from Ooty club” Ooty and Avalanche Lakes “the Kundas” Kunda Hills “forest bungalow Mudumalai” hunting camps native staff and porters fishermen in the Godavari River two examples of “How not to and how to climb for toddy” “Chipgiri bungalow” Wardha River etc. Eight photos at rear portray the album compiler and his racing horses – winners of several races in India in the 1920s. Overall a nice album with sound photos from traditional hunting trips in the jungles and mountains of central and southern India – to the areas many of which became national parks in independent India. hardcover
