1903rif. 8569First edition of this rather extraordinary survey of Curzon's many appearances in caricature in Hindi Punch and other Indian comic papers where he often appears in Indian dress and frequently as various Hindu deities notably Ganesh. 'This unpretentious little book is offered as a humble souvenir of the Delhi Durbar: in its pages our popular Viceroy as representative in the great Coronation Durbar of the greatest monarch of modern times is the central figure. In a land of her-worship it is not to be marvelled that the energy versatility and strong personality of Lord Curzon added to his many loveable traits should lend themselves easily to the genius of the Indian artist for caricaturing' author's Preface. Despite this warm introduction Curzon was subject to both approval and dissent through these images. The satire of British comic publications like Punch was enthusiastically appropriated by Indian artists - and India itself was frequently represented through the figure of Mr Punch - though their caricatures were also influenced by Indian artists such as Raja Ravi Varma. It is a fascinating fusion. 4to 248 × 158 mm pp. 2 2 48 4 adverts for Hindi Punch etc plus lithograph forntispiece numerous caricatures to text. Original lithographic boards. Slightly rubbed and soiled hinge cracked and backstrip rather crudely but effectively repaired with tape. [Tatva-Vivechaka Press and lithographed at Ajinkya Art P. Works for] Babajee Sakharam & Co,

rif. MC22Watercolour ca. 24.5 x 41.5cm 9.5 x 16.5 inches. Recently matted with a couple of minor scratches but overall a very good watercolour. The well executed watercolour show a wild boar being chased by two British hunters with spears on horseback in the foreground and native Indians and an Indian castle in the background. "In India pigsticking was popular among the Jatts Gujjars Rajputs Sikhs Maharajas and with British officers during Victorian and Edwardian times. According to the 1911 edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica it was encouraged by military authorities as good training because "a startled or angry wild boar is . A desperate fighter and therefore the pig-sticker must possess a good eye a steady hand a firm seat a cool head and a courageous heart "Wikipedia. unknown

Southern India photo album documenting an international Christian missionary medical group around Vellore Karigiri Katpadi and Kanchipuram in 1961 many photographs captioned and identify individuals. The album showcases how missionary labor operated after the end of British rule through hospitals training schools religious ceremony and organized visits into village and temple spaces. Compiled by a French speaking participant within an international Christian medical network the album centers on institutions linked to Christian Medical College and Hospital Vellore where foreign and Indian personnel worked inside a system first developed under colonial era Protestant missions and then carried forward in postcolonial India through education nursing public health and evangelical presence.

The 19th to early 20th century saw an increase in Protestant missionary organizations in India with schools hospitals and women's medical training programs as response both to evangelical ambition and to colonial inequalities in health care access. By 1961 India was politically independent yet this album shows how missionary medicine still organized relations between Western visitors Indian Christian institutions and local Tamil communities. Overall very good condition. A strong record of postcolonial missionary medicine in southern India showing how colonial religious systems survived through healthcare education and cross cultural authority rather than formal imperial rule alone. unknown
