The rest of the views are on heavy cream mounts with polished backs. They are all SALT PRINTS.  None bear titles or any other marks. They are probably views from a good amateur and date from the late 1850s. I will suspend condition and only mention problems. There were a few British Army surveyors and other technical men who pursued photography as a hobby. One of these was a certain Major Gill whose fine series of 100 views of India was published by Cundall, Downes & Company in London in 1864.
