Those of us interested in the pursuit of genealogy are always amused at the inventories of our ancestors’ estates here in New England. But these Indian ones are far more colorful and in some cases much richer. I found Trotter-Nama on eBay for a few bucks, and am sure I will enjoy it soon. Thanks for the recommendation. The fawning on the sahib reminds me of how grad students treat my husband sometimes at MIT (embarrassing him terribly). It also reminds me of a Catholic litany to the Virgin I used to recite in parochial school. My husband and I enjoyed the exhibit when we were in Los Angeles in January. It worked very well with photos at the Getty by Beato, a few of which overlapped with the Lucknow exhibits. Really fascinating.
