  • 2017/010
  • Chanan's folio of images of India was accumulated through the 1990s, on a series of trips to the sub-continent. The collection consists of a series of monochrome panoramic and colour images, which include portraits of a range of people in various parts of India. There is also a mix of striking street and rural scenes. The images were commissioned for the inaugural exhibition held at the British Empire and Commonwealth Museum on its opening in 2000.
