Description
Side A, clockwise: Photo 1: Mr Larson with 2 Pastors (Caption hand-written in ink): Photograph taken near a railway track. In the background we can see a few local men standing; at a distance a group of men are seated under a large tree. Photo 2: Lutheran Hill Kotagiri: Caption in ink, written on the photograph. Photo 3: possibly Mrs. Mc.Leanley & Miss Miller with Group of Women: A group of women, some seated on the ground, some kneeling, and some standing, along with two missionary women. Photo 4: Caption on the photograph, hand-written, ink: A Street Scene: Depicts two older women and an older man on a broad mud path with houses on either side. A bullock cart can be seen at a distance. Photo 5: Hand-written caption in ink: Probably “Kashmirs Bridge.” —Side B, counterclockwise : Photo 1: Hand-written caption in ink: “Converts Home Rentichintala”. Photo 2: “Girls of Rentichintala School”, in ink: A scene in front of a well, probably in the ‘Mission Compound’ because another well-built structure is visible in the background. Many of the young women and the girls are carrying objects that must indicate the ‘work’ that they are responsible for: brooms, utensils for drawing water, and a tray made of palm for cleaning rice. Some of them seem to be wearing uniform. Photo 3: Barely visible caption, probably “Widows Home”: A line of women, mostly clad in white saris, are tending a garden; at the edge of the photograph, part of a building is visible; at its door several other women are standing.
