‘Vaccination was introduced at the end of the 1860’s by Doctor Burr.’; ‘Dr Burr (1857-1872) the Agency Surgeon as well as Superintendent of the State Medical Institutions conducted a medical school in which youths were trained for work in the country towns.’; Dr John Murray Inspector General of Hospitals, who inspected the college [in Jaipur] in July 1867, reported that the Maharaja has displayed an earnest desire to introduce a European Medical scheme into Rajputana much in advance of the people. Dr Burr has shown great energy and zeal in conducting the Jeypore Medical Establishment.’Dr Kingsford Burr died at Hove, 10 August 1900.

Indian Mutiny 1857-59, no clasp (A. Anthony,) good very fine Provenance: Brian Lane Collection, Sotheby, September 1989.


£300-£400


Adam Henry Anthony was a member of the Uncovenanted Civil Service and was living at Agra with his wife and two children when the mutiny broke out. He served during the mutiny with the Agra Militia Infantry (Medal). After this service he returned to the Civil Service and in 1873 passed 1st Division entrance into Government service, becoming Assistant Comptroller General in 1878, and Assistant Accountant General in 1888. He retired as Deputy Auditor General in 1911.


As a young man Anthony expressed a desire to become a missionary but was frustrated in his attempt as described by J. C. B. Webster in ‘The Christian Community and change in the 19th century in North India’:


‘Seven years later [1855] the members of the North India Mission were faced with a problem which caused them to modify their earlier position. Adam Anthony a twenty-two year old Eurasian in Government employ, desired to become a missionary and the Rev. J. L. Scott was very eager to have him work in the new school at Agra. Anthony had no personal objection to joining as a member of Presbytery but not of the Mission, but he did want to know whether there was a rule against non-europeans becoming members of the Mission as “such a rule would be equivalent to the proscription of a class” and would therefore make missionary service unacceptable to him. However for financial reasons the Committee was unwilling to grant him an equal salary. Adam Anthony thus did not become a member of either the Presbytery or the Mission and his case was closed.’

Indian Mutiny 1857-59, no clasp (C. L. Haygarth,) good very fine Provenance: J. McPhail Massie Collection, Glendining’s, September 1961.


£300-£400


C. L. Haygarth was Superintendent of the Government Mail Cart Department at Agra and served with the Agra Militia Infantry (Medal). These initials are as per the medal roll but his correct initials were C. S.


When the official decision was made in 1861 to take a series of photographs for the book titled ‘The People of India’ normally amateurs, military and civil officers who had the necessary skills carried out this work, and were not paid for it. At Bharatpur the political agent was unable to find a suitably skilled individual and the task was carried out by Shepherd & Robertson of Agra, the only time that commercial photographers were commissioned. In Gwalior Captain Staden, who was an amateur photographer, had recently left the station and thus Mr Haygarth made his own offer to Major Meade, in temporary charge of the Gwalior Agency. Meade reported:


‘I addressed the only other available Photographer in the neighbourhood, Mr Haygarth, Inspector of Mails on the Agra Bombay Line, who has intimated his readiness to undertake the work.’


Haygarth’s suggestion that he undertake the work ‘on the terms customary with professional photographers’ was met with a swift response to halt all photography on such ‘preposterous terms.’


Haygarth died at Ghazipore on 16 May 1902, late Superintendent of Post Offices, retired, aged 72. 1080 Indian Mutiny 1857-59, no clasp (J. Robinson.) official correction to full stop from comma, good very fine £280-£320
