Show morePhotograph album owned by Captain Charles John Herbert Hay Noble, a British officer who served with the Jsazai Expedition (1892) and as transport officer to the 2nd Battalion Yorkshire Regiment in the Tirah Expeditionary Force campaign on the North-West Frontier Province, led by Sir William Lockhart (1897–98). In 1900 he travelled from India to South Africa on special service, where he distinguished himself in reconnaissance, led a successful night raid on a Boer farm and died in action at Schalkie Farm, near Bethlehem, in November the same year. The album collects photographs of the 1891 Hazara Expedition and include views of Attock, Abbottabad, Rawalpindi, of the Indus Valley, of the town of Murree, camp views, various images including Sikh soldiers and a striking scene of warfare. In addition, there are 2 regimental group photographs, related to the 1st Bedfordshire Regiment, and images documenting military camps. Most of the photographs were taken by British professional photographer John Burke. Burke first served in India as an apothecary assistant in the Royal Artillery. He left the army in 1861 to join William Baker, a retired sergeant who had started a photographic studio in Peshawar. Together they formed Baker and Burke Studio (1867–72), the first commercial studio in that region. In 1873 he established his firm, Burke & Co. (1873-1900) with studios in Peshawar, Rawalpindi, and Lahore. Thanks to his military background, Burke was able to accompany most of the British military campaigns in Afghanistan from the late 1860s to 1897. Out of this experience, he published a series of commercially produced albums collectively known as the Afghan War Album. The present album is mostly composed by individual prints that were available through Burkes studios and booksellers in India and London. Title and date devised by Library staff. Contemporary black half roan, dark green morocco-grained boards ruled in gilt, all edges gilt, white moiré silk effect endpapers. Prints (215 × 280 mm) are mounted to stiff card leaves with detailed inked captions on mounts identifying location and personnel, discreet captions and Burke catalogue numbers in the plate where applicable (26 photographs labelled Burke, Burke and Baker or “B”; 2 with numbers only; 5 captioned “J. Winter”; remainder uncaptioned). "C. J. H. H. Noble" —Charles John Herbert Hay Noble (1870-1901)— is inscribed on the front free endpaper.

Show moreThis book for children was written to encourage children to engage with the Old Testament scriptures, with a particular focus on the nature and purpose of the Tabernacle. In this, the third edition, the woodcuts of the former editions have been replaced by steel engravings. The subject of the Tabernacle in the wilderness is initially considered in the form of a series of questions, which the author answers with quotations from the Bible. The book offers guidance to moral conduct and advice on how to value material objects, and gives an overview of spiritual teachings concerning sin and atonement. The book concludes with a chapter about the Ark of the Covenant, which continues to describe the architecture of the Tabernacle and its functions. by Frank H. White. Show less

Show morePhotograph album documenting the British campaigns in Afghanistan during the so-called Great Game. Most of the photographs portray British troops, officers, camps, views of cities, ruins, pieces of artillery, antiquities, Buddha statues, and landscapes. Most of the photographs were taken by professional photographer John Burke. Burke first served in India as an apothecary assistant in the Royal Artillery. He left the army in 1861 to join William Baker, a retired sergeant who had started a photographic studio in Peshawar. Together they formed Baker and Burke Studio (1867–72), the first commercial studio in that region. In 1873 he established his firm, Burke & Co.

Thanks to his military background, Burke was able to accompany most of the British military campaigns in Afghanistan from the late 1860s to 1897. Out of this experience, he published a series of commercially produced albums collectively known as the Afghan War Album. As seen in this album, probably compiled by an officer or an amateur who collected loose prints, in addition to military subjects, Burke also produced views of landscapes and archaeological sites, as well as pictures of imperial offices and pageants, bazaars, mosques, and palaces in Lahore. 1878-79: The second Infantry Brigade (General Tytler) in the Afghan Campaign 1878-79 at Safed Sang ; The 2nd Infantry Brigade in Neemla [Nimlah] Bagh ; Officer Army Medical dep. with Khyber field force in Afghan campaigns Safed Sang [Ali] Masjid [Fort] 1879 ; Jumrood Fort ; Group of Natives Khyber Pass. ; Ali Musjid.
