Historically interesting album with excellent original photographs apparently taken by a British tourist during a voyage from England to present-day India the Mediterranean and the Caribbean at the turn of the twentieth century. The album follows a wide-ranging journey that begins in Calcutta then the capital of British India and continues through Varanasi Lucknow Agra and Delhi capturing the movement of the travelers across northern India. From there the route turns south to Madras and Colombo in Sri Lanka where the party embarked on a long sea passage. Traveling by steamer through the Suez Canal with recorded stops at Port Said and Malta the voyage gradually leads to the Caribbean.

The rest of the Indian photos comprise excellent nature and street views as well as a portrait of the apparent well-dressed compiler posing by his/her companion at a Bombay Harbor. About fifteen lively vernacular photos from Sri Lanka include views of the Galle Road Maligakane Temple the Galle Face Hotel and vibrant street scenes with locals in traditional attire strolling through the bustling thoroughfares.
