1961Best.-Nr. 3900281961. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Four photo albums of events in India that contain more than 100 professionally taken images owned by Thomas W. Simons American Counsul General in Madras. Three oblong octavos; one oblong quarto. All appear to be presentations to Simons who appears to be the featured guest or speaker. These were presented by Caltex Oil Company at the Inauguration of the Caltex Oil Refinery at Visakhapatnam 1957; the Lions Club of Kottayam; at Simons' Inaugural Address of the General Council at Anmnamalai University 1961; and the fourth unidentified. Most seem to be professional photos and are artistically mounted. 107 pictures total including seven loose perhaps five or six lacking whether these are the loose ones or not is unclear. Some are captioned. Images include Simons speaking at banquets with local dignitaries many sari-clad dancing girls pictures of Simons in the streets etc. Curiously we could find relatively little about Simons although his son Thomas W. Simons Jr. seems to have made a name for himself as ambassador to Pakistan. hardcover
