All the photographs which were, at that time, found lying unbound in the album were removed on 18th May 1981 and provisionally placed in Q-30.041 (=QC-30.015). File C-1,26 in the reports and letters sent from India to Basel includes copies made in Basel of these quarterly reports, on both of which the comment has been written that the Inspector [in Basel] has kept the originals in order to make up a photo album."

Nrn. 20 - 52. Resultate meiner letzten Malabarreise." - Die Art der Albuminabzüge könnte auf Papiernegative hindeuten. (BFN, 12.1999) & see the watermark in QC-30.015.0031!! (PJ 06.2001). - Einen ähnlichen Satz Bilder hat Ch.G. Richter durch Georg Plebst an Hermann Gundert gesandt und im Brief vom 08.02.1861 kommentiert: "Bruder Plebst wird Dir 16 Photogramme bringen. 1.

Im Gebüsch wirst Du mich erkennen. - Von Calicut habe ich keine Bilder noch gema; Note translation: The second and third quarterly reports for 1860 by Georg Richter are filed with this album. They are dated respectively 21st July 1860 and 6th Oct. 1860, and are 11 and 7 pages long. There is also a list of contents. The second quarterly report has the title "Short description of the photogramms sent to the honourable Committee in May." The text includes the passage "....I refer to the numbers of the photogramms and present them, in a sort of catalogue, in three sections: I Nos. 1-3, memories of the Blue Mountains and Mysore; II Nos. 4-19 views of Kurg; III Nos 20-52 Results of my last journey to Malabar." - The nature of the albumin prints indicates perhaps that Richter was making paper negatives (BFN 12.1999). - Richter sent a similar set of photographs to Hermann Gundert by hand of Georg Plebst. He commented on them in a letter to Gundeert dated 08.02.1851. "Brother Plebst will bring you 16 photogramms. 1. The Mission Compound in Cannanore [QC-30.016.0016 oder 17]. - 2. The engl.
