Bailey Collection: Sikkim and Tibet. Photographer(s): Bailey, Frederick Marshman.
Date
c 1905-1929
Description

A large collection of miscellaneous loose prints relating mainly to the 1920s, but with some earlier material dating back to around 1905. The captioning is variable and where present is written on the backs of the print, sometimes by F. M. Bailey and sometimes by his wife Irma. A significant proportion of the prints are uncaptioned. Much of this material also appears in other albums in the collection and the photographs have not been listed individually here, although they would repay closer research. Subjects include topographical views and scenes, informal portraits of friends and groups, social occasions such as picnics, tennis parties, etc. Formerly Mss Eur F157/490.
