598. [Photo Album] Album Relating to Malaysia and Governor General Sir John Anderson. The important part of the album is the 15 large (21 x 15cm.) and 23 small photos (of various sizes) relating to Malaya and four pieces of ephemera. The Malaysian photos are undated but appear to be early 20th century. The album also contains 12 small (and later) photos of South Africa and 60 or so small (and later) photos of India. No captions. About half of the Malaysian photos are inserted in clear corner mounts; and the other half are just laid in. The South African and India photos are pasted down. Tied oblong World War II era album. Sir John Anderson served as British High Commissioner in Malaya (and Governor of Straits Settlements), 1904-1911. Three of the larger photos show signs and people welcoming Sir John Anderson (two different photos show the same rather elaborate sign welcoming Anderson and Miss Anderson; the third is probably in front of a railroad station and welcomes Sir John to Labu. The other large photos show various scenes and buildings in Malaysia. There are 12 different large photos; three are present in duplicate. The small photos vary in quality; a few are quite nice. The four pieces of ephemera are as follows: (1) Rules of the Sungei Ujon Club. Singapore: 1904. 10p.; (2) The Bunga Minstrel. Programme and Book of World. Kuala Lumpur: 1904. 12p.; (3) The Dedication of the Organ in S. Mary's Church. Kuala Lumpur: 1904. 5p.; and (4) Rules of the United Planters' Association, F. M. S. Broadside. We have no idea why these very interesting Malaysian photos and other items are in an album with rather pedestrian and much later, probably World War II, photos of India and South Africa. 950.00

599. [Photo Album] Albumen Photos of India. 27 undated 19th century photos. All but 2 are approximately 28 x 22cm.; the other two are 24 x 18cm. Displayed one to a page on both sides of the stiff card leaves of an oblong album. Later thin (and rather ineffective) strips of paper used as corner mounts. Commercial photos of very good quality and detail. Photographer(s) not identified on any of the 25 larger photos. The two smaller photos stamped on the back: "Mohan Lall Photographer Oodeypoor." There are a couple of tears and some corner wear but generally Very Good. Many blank leaves at end of album. Album cover is 1/4 leather over black cloth. Split at front joint. Photos of the Taj Mahal and other famous building as well as some interiors and a couple of lake side scenes. The two smaller photos appear to be of the 19th century version of Udaipur's Jag Niwas Island. 650.00
