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.
