An album of 189 photographs, mostly of India and China or Japan in the early Twentieth Century. They show local life, architecture, gatherings, the Taj Mahal, a snake charmer, a cremation, elephants, landmarks, animals, local life, the landscape, Asian temples, bridges, city housing, the ocean, and more. There are also images of Europe, including rural towns, country houses, Venetian canals, and churches. Most of the images are printed in sepia tones on cardstock, suggesting that they were purchased rather than developed from a personal camera. Its likely that these were collected during one or more extended sightseeing trips. Only a few in the back seem to be printed on photographic paper; one of these is dated 1913 on the verso. The images are collected in a new cardboard photo album with cellophane pages. The cardstock images are all in fine condition, while those on photographic paper are in good condition. This collection gives a close-up view of Indian and Asian life in turn-of-the-century, specifically its compelling blend of old traditions and new, western influences. The European images provide picturesque views as well.
