Note translation: "Nos. 16 & 17 [QC-30.016.0011-0012] show the extremely beautiful "hollow passage", one looking downhill, the other looking uphill. This place is about a quarter of an hour after leaving Anandapur on the road to Sidapur......" (C.G. Richter's 2nd quarterly report, 21.07.1860, p. 11). (BFN 10..1998). - Richter sent a similar set of phtographs to Hermann Gundert by hand of G. Plebst. He commented on them in a letter of 8th Feb. 1861 (now in possession of Albrecht Frenz, Stuttgart): "Brother Plebst will bring you 16 photographs.....no. 13 shows the bamboo avenue near Anandapur with Joseph and his wife in the foreground. You will be able to see me in the bush...."
