INDIA - GENERAL THACKWELL & THE SIKH WARS - The Military Memoirs of Lieut-General Sir Joseph Thackwell, Arranged from diaries and correspondence, by Colonel H.C. Wylly, 1908, first edition, 424pp, original cloth. Thackwell was in command of the cavalry in the first Sikh war at Sobraon. When the second Sikh war began he was appointed to the command of the third division of infantry; but on the death of Brigadier Cureton in the action at Ramnagar, he was transferred to the cavalry division. After Ramnagar the Sikhs crossed to the right bank of the Chinab. To enable his own army to follow them, Gough sent a force of about eight thousand men under Thackwell to pass the river higher up, and help to dislodge the Sikhs from their position by moving on their left flank and rear. Thackwell found the nearer fords impracticable, but crossed at Vazirabad, and on the morning of 3 Dec. encamped near Sadulapur. He had orders not to attack till he was joined by an additional brigade; but he was himself attacked towards midday by about half the Sikh army. The Sikhs drove the British pickets out of three villages and some large plantations of sugar-cane, and so secured for themselves a strong position. They kept up a heavy fire of artillery till sunset, and made some feeble attempts to turn the British flanks, but there was very little fighting at close quarters. In the course of the afternoon Thackwell received authority to attack if he thought proper; but as the enemy was strongly posted, he deemed it safer to wait till next morning. By morning the Sikhs had disappeared, and it is doubtful whether they had any other object in their attack than that of gaining time for a retreat. Gough expressed his `warm approval` of Thackwell`s conduct, Thackwell was in command of the cavalry at Chilianwala. At Gujrat he was also on the left, and kept in check the enemy`s cavalry when it tried to turn that flank. After the battle was won he led a vigorous pursuit till nightfall. In his despatch of 26 Feb. 1849 Gough said: `I am also greatly indebted to this tried and gallant officer for his valuable assistance and untiring exertions throughout the present and previous operations as second in command with this force.` He received the thanks of parliament for the third time, and the G.C.B.

INDIA - WATSON`S PEOPLE OF INDIA - The People of India, A series of photographic illustrations of the races and tribes of Hindustan, originally prepared under the authority of the government of India and reproduced by order of the secretary of state for India in council, with descriptive letterpress by Col. Meadows Taylor, Ed. by J. Forbes Watson and Sir John William Kaye, 1872, Volume 5, re-bound with original label to spine. Containing 34 of the 52 mounted photographs called for. Vol 5: With a focus on photographic subjects from Lahore, Kohat, Hazara, Kabul, and Multan, from present Pakistan and Afghanistan, specifically Lahore, Hazara, Kohat, Kabul and Kandahar. Albumen prints, printed captions on the mounts, mostly mounted one per page, images typically 135 x 165mm, [c. 1872] includes a Sodhi Sikh, Sikh jat of the Sandoo clan, ootmanyze pathan, afreedi, Afghan group, Dooranee, Beloch, Kumbos, Hindo Jogee, Hindo bairagee, Lobana tribe, Arora tribesman, Sansees tribe of Lahore, and five loosely inserted photo portraits from other volumes. First edition volume of this remarkably comprehensive photographically-illustrated ethnographic study of India. The project was begun on the request of Lord Canning, Governor-General of India, initially as a souvenir of his time on the subcontinent. The officers of the British Army were instructed to go out and photograph "interesting subjects", and the results proved so extensive that a decision was made to publish them in the present format. The known contributing photographers were: J.C.A. Dannenberg; Lieut. R.H. De Montmorency; Rev. E. Godfrey; Lieut. W.W. Hooper; Major Houghton; Capt. H.C. McDonald; J. Mulheran; Capt Oakes; Rev. G. Richter; Shepherd and Robertson; Dr. B. Simpson; Dr. B.W. Switzer; Capt H.C.B. Tanner; Capt. C.C. Taylor; Lieut. J. Waterhouse. John Forbes Watson and John William Kaye compiled an eight-volume study entitled The People of India between 1868 and 1875. The books contained 468 annotated photographs of the native castes and tribes of India. The photographs compiled by Watson and Kaye were not the first to be taken of Indian people but the project was organised within the framework of attempts by officials to document the people in a methodical, statistically and ethnographically oriented manner later expressed by Denzil Ibbetson in his 1883 report on the 1881 census of the Punjab. The collection was an attempt at a visual documentation of "typical" physical attributes, dress and other aspects of native life that would complement written studies, although it did itself contain brief notes regarding what were thought to be the "essential characteristics" of each community. Thomas Metcalf has said that, "Accurate information about India`s peoples now mattered as never before ... [although imperfect] for the most part the work marked out a stage in the transformation of ethnological curiosity ..." Educated Indians were unimpressed with the outcome and many took the view that their people had been depicted both unfairly and dispassionately.
