Burma in the Monsoon Season
Most of the photographs below have almost faded away and
required extensive renovation before being posted here. Several are endorsed on
the reverse side by Alfred Knight and it is possible that they had been sent
back to England to illustrate what he was doing in Burma. There is talk of the
site of his new house but whether or not it is this
one is unclear. Fortunately not everywhere was as wet and desolate as these
scenes indicate and there was some semblance of
civilisation not too far away.
