INDIA - JUNE 04: Photograph by W Raitt showing a turbanned craftsman making paper by hand. The pulp is mixed with water and placed on a framed porous screen. The water drains away leaving the paper which is then pressed and dried. This method of paper-making was also used in Europe until the end of the 18th century when machines for making continuous rolls of paper were introduced. Wood pulp and cellulose have largely been used in paper manufacture since the 19th century, but plant fibers and rags are also still used, as well as recycled paper. (Photo by SSPL/Getty Images)

Alexander at the Battle with Porus', 326 BC. (c1912). The forces of Alexander the Great (356-323 BC) combat those of the Indian rajah Porus (active 327-315 BC) on the banks of the River Hydaspes, (now the River Jhelum in Pakistan). Although Porus had the advantage of battle elephants, which the Greeks had never encountered before, Alexander still defeated Porus. From The Romance of India, edited by Herbert Strang.

PESHAWAR, INDIA - 1919/01/01: 'At the Kabuli Gate - Outside. The Disturbances. Peshawar -1919.' Background to this image: With the threat of War looming in Europe, Edward Fitzgerald Charlesworth volunteered to join the Territorial Army that was being raised in Britain for coastal defense. These part-time soldiers trained at weekends and under an Act of Parliament no part of this force was to 'be carried or ordered to go out of the United Kingdom.' With the outbreak of the Great War in August 1914 Lord Kitchener, Secretary of State for War, asked for volunteers to serve abroad. The response from E.F. Charlesworth's Battalion, the 4th Queen's was reported to be 'very satisfactory' and the volunteers were soon deployed to India to replace the regular British Army troops who were fast being transported to the battlefields of Europe. The 1st/4th Queen's arrived in Lucknow, via Bombay where they completed their 'War Training'. From published accounts there is no question that the soldiers posted to India during this period were craving for a call to the European front. The Times in 1916 was to write: 'The men who have been sent to garrison the outposts of Empire would undoubtedly have chosen, if the choice had been theirs, to take their chances on the European battlefields with the Allies.' E.F. Charlesworth recorded much of what he saw from the moment he boarded the ship in Southampton. His camera documented the life of British soldiers in India, their families, the local population, landscapes and landmarks. On his death these images were passed on to his Grandson Peter, who retains copyright to these rare historical images. The day and month of this image within 1919 is unknown.

India's boycott of British cloth: Followers of Gandhi burn goods from Bradford and Manchester. Seventeen years later, Mahatma Gandhi, the man who had lead a campaign of non-violent resistance to British rule for decades and who became widely credited with securing India's independence, finally saw his goal realised. British rule, which had lasted for 163 years, ended at the stroke of midnight on August 14, 1947. But initial jubilant scenes across the country quickly turned to horror. Thousands died as battles erupted between Muslims and Hindus in the two new countries of India and Pakistan, created through the partition of the religiously-divided sub-continent.
