The Graphic Arts Division of Princeton University's Firestone Library recently acquired an album of rare albumen photographs that includes 59 of the Morant Bay Rebellion in Jamaica. The album's careful compilation includes detailed notes of the people, places, and dates relevant to each photograph. It may be the work of a surgeon in the British Army, Alexander Dudgeon Gulland, MD Edinburgh University, who appears in the album. Appointed Staff Assistant Surgeon in 1854, he served with the 6th Foot, which was in Jamaica in 1865. Some of the photos, and more information: http://blogs.princeton.edu/graphicarts/2009/10/album_covering_the_jamaica_reb.html This album is still being processed and will soon be available for research in the reading room of Rare Books and Special Collections, Firestone Library.
