I like the entire Flickr set to which “Monkey’s mind” belongs.
It is odd. Something in my experience as an archivist inclines me to resist the deliberately antiquarian aesthetic impulse these images manifest, yet I am pulled by it nonetheless. And a number of these photographs are quite fine.
I actually like the ‘antiquing’ effect on these, though obviously it’s an effect that can be used badly. Perhaps it simply helps suggest the historic depth of India.
