Summary edit

Description
English: Raphael Tuck & Sons

London c. 1905 Halftone Divided back Native Life in India Series IV13.75x8.80cm

One of the best in Tuck's Native Life in India series, a cool contrast of blue and marble, showing the guards at the Golden Temple in Amritsar.

[Original caption] The Sikh Akalis are one section of the famous "fakirs" or native priests of India. Unlike many of these fakirs, their enthusiasm is of an active nature, and in times past, when the Sikhs were engaged in warfare, they frequently led the advancing army in person fighting with great bravery and considerable disregard of their life.
