Fine bust portrait in oval of Hafiz Abdul Karim (c.1863 - 1909), Secretary and 'Munshi' to Queen Victoria (as Empress of India); in striped turban and robe. Karim, a Muslim, was born near Jhansi in British India, the son of a hospital assistant. In 1887, Victoria's Golden Jubilee year, Karim was one of two Indians selected to become servants to the Queen. Victoria gave him the title of "Munshi", an Urdu word often translated as "clerk" or "teacher", appointed him her Indian Secretary, showered him with honours, and obtained a land grant for him in India. The firm of Elliott & Fry (active 1863 - 1962) was founded in 1863 by Joseph John Elliott (1835 - 1903) and Clarence Edmund Fry (1840 - 1897), who opened their first premises at 55 Baker Street where they stayed at until 1886. The firm employed a variety of operators who took the photographs, including Francis Henry Hart and Alfred James Philpott in the Edwardian era, Herbert Lambert and Walter Benington in the 1920s and 1930s and subsequently William Flowers. In the early 1940s the studio was bombed and most of the early negatives were destroyed. Shortly after the firm's Centenary in 1963 it was taken over by and amalgamated with Bassano & Vandyk. The National Portrait Gallery owns all the surviving negatives.

This transverse view of the great Hypostyle hall at Karnak. The relief carvings of the great Temple of Karnak, some of which are so carefully illustrated in this view, have been used by archaeologists and historians to interpret not only the religious beliefs of the ancient Egyptians but also their customs and for constructing a chronology of historical events. Published in the monumental folio edition of 'Egypt & Nubia: from drawings made on the spot' by David Roberts (1796 - 1864), lithographed by Louis Haghe. This example comes from the library of Sir Richard Hungerford Pollen (1815-81), 3rd Baronet of Redenham, an amateur artist listed as a subscriber to this work. However this is not a hand-coloured subscription plate but is still an early printing, one issued in wrappered parts prior to the bound First Edition.

General Williams and his Staff leaving Kars. Painted by T.J. Barker, as companion to ''The Allied Generals Before Sebastopol".
Published by John Garle Browne, Leicester, the sole owner of the Picture.
Rare lithographic keyplate. 530 x 640mm (20¾ x 25¼"), laid on board for hanging under the original print. A little wear.
The keyplate to the print ''Sir Fenwick Williams and the Officers of his Staff parting with the citizens of Kars'', engraved by Charles George Lewis (1808-60) after Thomas Jones Barker (1815-82), with an index of 38 people and places. The original painting, ''The Capitulation of Kars, 26 November 1855'', is now in the National Army Museum. The Siege of Kars (June 1855) was the last major operation of the Crimean War. The Russians attacked the most important fortress of Eastern Anatolia, which was defended by Ottoman troops led by Canadian general William Fenwick Williams (1800-83). Williams managed to galvanise the dispirited garrison and repulse three major Russian attacks, but eventually cold, famine and an outbreak of cholera forced it to surrender, after which they were allowed to march out with the honours of war and into captivity.
