The subjects of both photographs are very neatly identified in blue ink by Queen Victoria to lower imprint area of mount and dated 1888. 'Ahmed Husin' was engaged as one of the Queen's Indian attendants in 1888 and accompanied her to Balmoral that June. 'Hafiz Abdul Karim' was recruited as an Indian servant for Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee. The Queen became interested in learning Hindustani in order to converse with Abdul and as a loyal friendship ensued, Abdul was promoted to 'munshi' in August 1888. 'Muhamed Bukksh' was engaged as one of the Queen's attendants in 1887 and left her service in 1895. He is pictured with 'little Alexander Battenburg'. Alexander Mountbatten, 1st Marquis of Carisbrooke (1886-1960), the last surviving grandson of Queen Victoria.
