FALCONER John and RUSSELL-SMITH Lilla - Photographs

PHOTOGRAPHS PHOTOGRAPHS Stein Photo 1/1 Views of Lahore, Peshawar, Kantipura and Sutru, 1890s Four loose albumen prints, each measuring approximately 10x7.5 cm, mounted on card. With front page of original packaging titled in Stein's handwriting: 'Albums and Photographs Lahore - Kashmir - Frontier.' The prints are captioned in Stein's hand on the mounts as follows: 1. Punjab Club, Lahore. 2. Mission Church, Peshawar City. 3. Excavated column in Kantipura, near Shekhopura. 4. Mosque at Sutru, Kashmir. Stein Photo 1/2 Kalhana's Rajatarangini, c.1892 22 albumen prints, each measuring approximately 16.4x21.5 cm, mounted on card (apait from one print), evidently from a disbound album. Most of the prints are faded and yellowed, though the text remains legible. The prints show pages of text from Kalhana's Rajatarangini, a Chronicle of the Kings of Kashmir. Most of the pages are numbered in Stein's handwriting. These prints are probably the photographs Stein used for translating the text of his publication of Kalhana's Rajatarangini, or the Chronicle of the Kings of Kashmir (2 vols, Bombay: Educational Society, Bombay, 1892, also, Constable and Co., London 1900). The HAS also holds a critical edition in printed Sanskrit with Stein's manuscript notes (Mss Box 19) and Stein's handwritten English translation of the work (Mss Boxes 20-22). Stein Photo 1/3 Photographs of inscriptions, 1890s 39 loose printing-out paper prints, the majority measuring about 19.8x14.4 cm, showing inscribed stones. The inscriptions appear to be in different Indian and Runic scripts, showing inscriptions on stones held at the Lahore Museum. An accompanying sheet of card, presumably part of the original wrapping of this group of prints, is titled: 'Photos of Lahore Inscriptions, including Swat Buner forgeries'. Numbering in pencil has been added by Stein. In many cases each print has multiple negative number references on the reverse: the 'Mus.' prefixes in the references quoted in square brackets presumably relate to the Lahore Museum. In the majority of cases there are two copies of each print. Captions where found are those written on the reverse of the print. 1-2. [Mus 25A] 3. Found in situ at part of wall in left hand of entrance old fort on Mount Banj (Spur of Mahaban). [Mus 42; Mus (Senart 35); 36 and 8109 crossed out] 161
