Content Description

A collection of lantern slides and two loose photographic prints, documenting a journey from the United Kingdom, via Gibraltar and the Suez, to Cochin in Kerala, India. The provenance of the collection is unknown. There appears to be a connection to the firm, William Goodacre & Sons, established in Kerala in 1862, an export/import business still operating out of Alappuzha producing coir rugs, door mats, brush mats and related products. Several... of the slides are captioned Goodacre and depict the unloading of coconut shells or coir. There are also scenes of well-known colonial buildings in Bombay (Mumbai).
