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.
Collotype
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.
Soldiers' Married Quarters, Peshawar
Note how this advertisement for family life in the cantonment shows a woman and pram on the verandah.
Kasauli Hill
A very nicely composed collotype, with the road leading the eye into the dense scene from the foreground.
