You see three photos on one sheet: a church doorway, a doctor’s grave, and a sketch of an ancient Indian woman. These were taken by one of India’s first professional photographers. The album was likely made for a British official as a keepsake of his time there. The mix of colonial life and local history in one frame feels odd now—like a postcard from someone else’s trip. To see more of this album, look up The Cleveland Museum of Art.
