You see four small photos of British officers’ horses and one camel, all posed in India. These aren’t paintings—they’re early photographs. Raja Deen Dayal was one of the first Indian photographers hired by the British. He shot these for an album that a colonial official took home as a souvenir. Look up more photos from the same album at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
