Photographs of India and Southern Rhodesia [i.e. Zimbabwe], 1890s-1930s

A collection of prints of various sizes. A number of the earlier prints have evidently been removed from the pages of an album. The collection is divided up as follows:
1-19 Views in India (Mussoorie, Muttra and Hurdwar), 1890s-1900s, mainly commercial work but with some amateur snapshots
20-26 Postcards of India, early 1900s
27-37 Snapshots of Southern Rhodesia, 1920s-1930s
Most of the prints have contemporary captions, and many in addition have titles written at a later date by the donor in a hand very difficult to decipher. Several of the photographs relate to the donor's youth. Photographs by S.H. Dagg, Thomas A. Rust and others unknown.

Unless restrictions apply, the collection is open for consultation by researchers using the Manuscripts Reading Room at Cambridge University Library. For further details on conditions governing access please contact mss@lib.cam.ac.uk. Information about opening hours and obtaining a Cambridge University Library reader's ticket is available from the Library's website (www.lib.cam.ac.uk).
