Set of mounted black-and-white photographs, identified as Photo Set A. Although housed with the
Gandhāran Art in Pakistan material and included in the summary (box 1, folder 1), the actual material bears a closer resemblance to the photographs
found in Series II. There are no captions on the mounts, but internal evidence from the photographs indicates that many of
the pieces depicted are not in museums in Pakistan.
