content: Aschwin Lippe's photographs of Indian temples and sculpture comprise the largest single component of his research materials on Indian architecture and sculpture. He compiled albums of 8-by-10-inch black and white photographs for each research project, using the same photographs many times for different projects. All that remains of these research albums are the photograph lists, many of them dated. Albums allowed him to compare and identify styles of sculpture. Most of the black-and-white enlargements [Subseries 5.2] had site identification and a serial number written on the back. The collection also contains 35 mm. color slides [Subseries 5.4] which tend to be general views of temples and surroundings, local activities, people and festivals. Simone Lippe took most of the slides, according to Thilo von Watzdorf. The collection also contains a few black-and-white photographs of other Asian temples and sites [Subseries 5.3] as well as 35 mm. color slides of trips elsewhere in Asia [Subseries 5.5]
