4 x 5" Black and white negative of a statue of Hanuman next to a road. Hoefler's original description: "Gwalior State, Central India. Throughout India, along its highways and byways, are shrines, erected to different gods. The traveler soon becomes accustomed to seeing, on every hand, the images of the monkey god, the elephant god and numerous others. The picture shows two small shrines erected to the monkey god, Hanuman, who enjoys a wide following over the whole of India. Images of Hanuman are to be found in most temples, as well as in public places. In those provinces where there are many followers of Vishnu, a person can scarcely move a yard without coming across an image of this beloved god.
