Hearst Museum object titled Black-and-white negative, accession number 15-30289, described as 4" X 5" Black and white image of a portion of the relief at the Taj Mahal. Hoefler's original description: "British India. A close view of the inlay and marble relief carving in the entranceway to the Taj Mahal in Agra. There is a widely accepted tradition in India to the effect that after the completion of the Taj, that upon orders of the emperor Shah Jahan, the architect had his eyes gouged out, in order that no other edifice could be built anywhere in the world that would compare with this mausoleum." (Prints Supplied To: Hills Brothers.)

Hearst Museum object titled Black-and-white negative, accession number 15-30290, described as Black and white negative of section of the border on the walls of the Taj Mahal. Hoefler's Original description: "British India. A close-up view of one of the borders of multi-colored inlay in the entrance way to the Taj Mahal. These borders of flower-shaped inlays are composed of tiny veri-colored stones set into the white marble walls. The materials used are cornelian, onyx, jasper, coral from Ceylon, and chrysolite from the Nile. It is claimed by the inhabitants of Udaipur that the Emperor Shah Jahan gained his inspiration for its style of architecture from The Jag Mandir Island Palace in Pichola Lake, where he spent some time in exile while Prince Khurram. As to who really designed the Taj there is a great conflict of opinions, but the Emperor himself contributed many ideas there can be no doubt." (Prints Supplied To: Hills Brothers.)

Hearst Museum object titled Black-and-white negative, accession number 15-30287, described as 4 X 5" Black and white negative of a priest of the sun god (Aditya?) Hoefler's original description: "Jaipur, Rajputana, India. The priest who attends to the wants of the sun god. In a country where poverty and half-starvation are the lot of the majority of the people, being a priest has many advantages. During the annual procession all the priest has to do is to wave some colored sticks and lighted candles in front of the sun god's face, and between times, to gather in the coins and assorted vegetables that are cast by the multitudes at the feet of the god. Later, after returning to the temple, the old man can be found counting the coins and sorting the carrots from the cabbages and potatoes. One ripe tomato had flown a little high and the bright red spot left by its landing decorated his white flowing beard." (Prints Supplied To: Mondiale, London; International News.)

Hearst Museum object titled Black-and-white negative, accession number 15-30304, described as Black and white negative of the blacksmith, painter, and carpenter, all of whom accompanied Hoefler in his expedition, talking besides one of the trucks.

At every lengthy stop, these men would take up their task of completing the bodies of the two trucks. This work was begun at Bombay previous to the departure of the Expedition from its headquarters; and by perserverance and with the elapse of enough time, the work was completed - upon the return of the Expedition to Bombay, just before it sailed for home!"
