AL835)1898 book school prize Religions & Christianity + text & photos re. India

Detailed Condtion : This is not in very good condition and bits of the pages are still deteriorating - lots of wear and tear - some pages have been ?eaten - some are loose - all are away from the binding - which shows repurposed paper interestingly (see pics). Inside I found the typewritten text - could it have been typed by the owner at a later date - the man did live in India for some time - working for the British Raj I believe. The photos may have been his and the text his thoughts - or it could have been part of a text for a book/paper - or could have been a holiday later or by someone else?! Great collectables. Not all pages are dark, I've just shown the worst.

This sale is for a hardback book that has significant damage but had within its pages 7 sepia photos, presumably taken in India and a text about the caste system.

The book is dated 1898 on the school prize sticker - this was awarded to George Lazarus for being second in the fifth form. The photos and text may have been his - it's a fair assumption to make given that he later worked and lived in India for many years. But it could well have been part of a paper for uni and the photos from a holiday. Great little collectables but the book continues to deteriorate so I've popped it in a plastic bag. This has been made using repurposed paper, or maybe repaired later? You can see this on the binding. The paper that the text is typed on was made in Norway.

Times are tight I know so, thought it would be good to remind you that I do accept weekly payments on all orders and then send the item when it's paid up. Just get in touch after you've bought the item to arrange it. No interest charged, of course. Just pay the actual buying price + p&p as you usually would.
