Johnston & Hoffmann

Royal Tour Souvenir Album India. 1905-1906

Containing a complete Pictorial of all the Principal events in the Indian tour of their Royal Highness the Prince and Princess of Wales.

Size: 24.5 x 19 cm (9.7 x 7.5 inches)

Johnston & Hoffman, Photographers . 1st Edition. Oblong 8vo. Colored double portrait frontispiece of the Prince in naval uniform and the princess in tiara, 192pp of good printed photo illustrations and index.
Original red cloth gilt, the front board with gilt blocked elaborate title and devices of the order of the Star of India and the Prince of Waless crest, all edges gilt, minor wear and a few marks to boards but a decent, sound, tight copy.

The best small pictorial record, well produced on good quality art paper, of this important tour of India and Burma by the Prince of Wales, whose happy memories of it were in no small part responsible for his return to India in 1911 as George V and King Emperor for the spectacular Delhi Coronation Durbar and tour. The number of pages devoted to pictorial representation of places visited, recorded by one of Indias leading photgraphic studios, is as follows: Bombay (6), Indore (4), Udaipur (2), Jaipur (7), Bikaner (4), Lahore (10), Peshawar (5), Jammu (5), Amritsar (3), Delhi (9), Agra (6), Gwalior (10), Lucknow (5), Calcutta (29), Rangoon (7), Mandalay 8), Madras (17), Bangalore (5), Hyderabad (15), Benares (10), Nepal (1), Quetta 10), Karachi (8). As well as views in the cities there are numerous images of special events and people connected with the tour: military groups, processions, durbars, portraits of Indian Princes, local inhabitants, the Prince hunting, etc.
