| Content and context |
Collection of photographs covering life in India, its people and buildings and also the new Delhi and Karachi airports. There is a two page list of 30 handwritten captions included in this collection (20/2/12/145), which appear to relate to photographs 46-75, which for the most part haven't been used, as some are illegible and also it is not clear which caption relates to which photograph on each page in the album. There are also three other paper lists inserted in the album (20/2/12/142-144), one typed, that would seem to relate to some of the photographs although one cannot be sure which is which. |
