British Family in India |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| The British presence in India began with the English East India Company’s founding of a trading post at Surat in 1612. By the early 1800s, most of India was under the control of the East India Company, and in 1858 the British Crown took over administration of India. Here, members of a British family in India pose with their servants. | ||||||
