A thorough account of the work of the General Plague Hospital in Poona, the largest plague hospital in existence at the time. A comparison with the album in the previous lot would seem to indicate that many of the photographs were taken by Capt. Moss, although four albumen print views in Poona showing streets and houses being disinfected and a Hindu burning ground are likely to be the work of the professional, F. B. Stewart. It seems likely that some of the more intimate subjects are by Dr. Adams, the Head of the hospital.

Including views of the various parts of the hospital; interiors of the wards; portraits of the doctors; native cooks working outdoors preparing food for on-duty soldiers; the segregation camp where people were sent while their districts were disinfected; the observation camp where households were sent when one member fell ill; Hindu funeral pyres; skeletons at the burial ground; close-up portraits and detail studies of plague victims including the dying; and house-to-house inspections by soldiers. The captions, apparently written by Dr. Adams, provide detailed information on each photograph, and despite the grim nature of the subject, reveal that he maintained a wry sense of humour.
