Title: [INDIA] [WORLD WAR II] Group of 150+ snapshot photographs of India in 1945
Publication: ca. 1945
Description: Group of just over 150 photographs of slightly varying sizes, but all about 4" x 5". The prints are generally in very good condition, with occasional curling and mild creasing, and evidence of many of these having been removed from an album, with some residue from paper backing or corner mounts. Just a handful of prints have short captions on the verso, i. e. "Main entrance to Fatepur Sikri, The tomb in Shundra, One corner of the Agra Fort, Yogi Temple under construction, Main gate at Taj," etc. Subjects vary widely, a nice mix of ordinary people at work, landscape scenery, and various points of interest. Almost, if not all of the images were taken by an individual; none seem to be tourist prints. Though only a few prints are dated, they all have a date between February and October 1945, thus the photographer was likely an American G. I. or someone in the diplomatic corps, involved in helping the British Empire and British India in the last months of the war effort. Very good.
