Photographer: Fred Bremner (1863-1941) and unknown. Landscapes, people and military forts in Pakistan. 1880s-1900. 16 albumen prints. Most circa 18 x 25 cm and larger. Mounted to board, some on both sides of board, annotated in ink on the mount.
The Scottish born photographer Fred Bremner produced a wide range of portraiture work in British India, spanning 1882-1922. In 1882, Bremner accepted a position with his brother-in-law G. W. Lawrie, who ran a successful photography business in Lucknow, and he was assigned work throughout northern India (modern India and Pakistan). In 1889, Bremner established his own photographic studio in Karachi, and successively studios in Quetta, Lahore and Rawalpindi. He travelled great distances to rarely photographed areas, thus his work captures a scarce record of rural life, landscapes and people in late 19th and early 20th century India. – Some faded in edges, most in good condition.
