Photograph of potters at work, near Karachi in Sindh in Pakistan, taken by Michie and Company in c. 1873, from the Archaeological Survey of India Collections. This scene is from the Vienna Universal Exhibition of 1873, and is described in John Forbes Watson’s exhibition catalogue, as follows: "Photograph showing potters’ yard, on the bank of the ‘Lyaree’ River, near Karachi, with potters at work. The man represented standing on the right of the picture is kneading the clay which has been previously prepared in the pit represented on the right. The centre figure is represented with a lump of unfinished clay on the wheel. The left-hand figure shows a drain pipe on the centre of the wheel which, on being removed, is cut so as to bisect it longitudinally, but not quite divided, and thus the pipe fashioned is easily formed into two pan-tiles. The background represents the kilns. Rubbish is used for burning the pottery

Passenger Landing Pier.Photograph of the Passenger Landing Pier at Karachi, taken by an unknown photographer,c.1900, from an album of 46 prints titled ‘Karachi Views’. Karachi, now the capital of the Sindh province in the lower Indus valley, was once the capital of Pakistan and continues to be the country’s commercial hub and largest city. Its history prior to the 19th century is largely unrecorded but it is believed to be the ancient port of Krokala on the Arabian Sea, visited by Alexander’s admirals in 326 BC. Karachi is built around a bay which is a natural harbour and protected from storms by a group of small islands. The small fishing village of Karachi became a trading post when the Talpur Mirs of Sindh built a mud fort here in the 18th century, but the port remained small. It was completely transformed when its harbour was developed by the British after they conquered Sindh in the mid-19th century. The expansion of Karachi took place to facilitate the booming cotton export trade and movement of commodities such as wheat.

Christchurch,Karachi.Photograph of the exterior of Christchurch in Karachi from the ‘Album of architectural and topographical views, mostly in India’ by an unknown photographer in the 1870s. Christchurch, which is also known as the Church mission Society Church, dates from c.1856. The patron of the church was Henry Preedy, the Bazaar Master and first Collector of Karachi. The Church is situated in the same compound as the Church Mission School founded in 1846 and the Kutchery, a meeting place, built in 1855. This compound was passed onto the Church Mission Society in 1853.
