Hunger and Famine in the Long Nineteenth Century
J. J. Lohr, A Few Pictures from Chhattisgarh and the Central Provinces of India, Illustrating the Scenery, the Social Customs of the Sathámis and the Late Famine
Essentially a picture book that includes some emaciated figures from the famine years, the writer is of the ‘best of all possible worlds’ school of philosophy, almost cheerleading in his view of the dying poor.
