General View of the City, Fort and Mosque, Srinagar (Kashmir)
Srinagar is famous for its scenic locales and the Jhelum River that meanders through a large part of the 2,000 year old city.
Collotype
Street Scene, Madras
Note the diagonal leading the eye into a rich scene, the figures in the corners of the frame, the tethered cow on the left, the pots in the coals, the vibrancy of this human space under a hoisted banner.
The Post Office, Murree
Built by the British, the Murree General Post Office (GPO) crowns the commercial Mall an hour north of Rawalpindi and Islamabad.
Ceylon-Colombo Street Scene
A rich color palette pervades this scene.
A Mahomadan Huka and Coffee Shop
Maybe it is the hookahs and Arab head dress of the main in the green robe smoking a cigarette, but this seems to be a scene in Bombay bazaar. The electrotype (imprint on the back) matches that of Clifton & Co.
Packetting Tea, Colombo
A nice representation of a small portion of the human labor – a dozen people here – that went into the preparation and production of a commodity like tea.
Murree View From Above Hotel
One of the popular postcard views of this hillstation now in Pakistan and once on the major route to Kashmir from Punjab. Murree adheres tightly to a steep hillside. Note how the Protestant Church is on top, and the "native bazaar" descends below.
Fruit Sellers
A delicately hand-tinted postcard, with the green stalks breathing life into the frozen men.
Kandyan lady
Compare to the halftone color version of the same photograph.
Bombay - Great Western Hotel
A storied building, still standing, which was everything from a Governor's residence to Admiralty House and the first High Court of Bombay.
