Description (What the record is about)
-
Green and black half-leather album, 278x375mm, containing mounted prints (four loose prints at the end) with handwritten captions. The album has a broken spine and is in need of rebinding. Prints 1-15 are views in Germany including Dresden and Berlin, the remaining prints are mainly group portraits in India featuring the Lieutenant-Governor of the Punjab, Sir Charles Aitchison, his staff and family. Indian locations include Simla, Multan, Bannu, Rawalpindi, Lahore, Hangal and Peshawar. It is probable that this album originally belonged to Beatrice Clementina Aitchison, eldest daughter of Sir Charles Aitchison, because he and Lady Aitchison are referred to in captions as 'Father' and 'Mother'. She later married Dunlop Smith.
