The album, most likely compiled by Dr.
C. H. B. Adams-Wylie, the plague medical officer at the General Plague Hospital in Poona
(Pune), India, from 1897-1898, records the work of that hospital in great detail. The
photographs portray the daily work of the hospital and include portraits of hospital staff,
views of the hospital wards and grounds, and detailed close-up studies of plague patients.
Photographs taken outside the hospital compound document the measures instituted by Pune's
Special Plague Committee and enforced by the British and native soldiers, such as forced
house inspections and the holding of residents within observation and segregation
camps.
