[Mus 116] Stein Photo 1/4 Photographs of inscriptions, 1890s Thirteen prints found in an envelope inscribed in blue pencil 'Photos of Deane inscripts. and correspondence regarding them 1897-98' and 'supplied by Abdul Hanan and all forgeries.' This material was presumably intended for publication as a contin­uation of Stein's 'Notes on new inscriptions discovered by Major Deane, part I (with plates I-VII)', which appeared in the Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal (vol.67, 1898, no.l, pp. 1-19). At the conclusion of the article Stein writes, 'The preparation of plates showing Major Deane's recent acquisitions has already been taken in hand by Mr Griggs, and with the help of the Asiatic Society I hope to publish soon the whole of these new finds in a second series.' This continuation does not seem to have appeared, possibly as a consequence of the conclusion that the inscriptions were not genuine. In the article Stein also notes that these photographs and those in the Lahore Museum (presumably referring to Stein Photo 1/3 above) were prepared by F.H. Andrews, Principal of the Mayo School of Art. The material consists of : 1-4. 4 pages marked VIII, IX, X, XI, with 35 small albumen prints of inscribed stones cut to image size and numbered 61-93. 162
