Images of Hong Kong especially, and also Canton, Shanghai and Peking, taken from 1910 to 1913. Henry Adolph Ruhe was born in Greenock, Scotland in 1889 and died in Surrey, England in 1960. In June 1912 Ruhe joined the Chinese Maritime Customs Service (CMCS) as 2nd Engineer, probably serving initially on the RS Likin and then on RS Kaipan. He left the CMCS in April 1914. Ruhe changed his surname to Rue in c.1916 like many in wartime Britain who were of German descent or with Germanic-sounding surnames. He was connected in some way with the Taikoo Dockyard and Engineering Company when in Hong Kong, with a later career as a consulting marine engineer and surveyor.

James Philip Mills (1890-1960) worked as an anthropologist-administrator in northeast India during most of the first half of the twentieth century and was later Reader in Anthropology at SOAS. His several ethnographies of Naga groups are still regarded as authoritative. His collection of approximately 1,500 images are held at SOAS and the Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford. The images in the SOAS repository are almost entirely from a set of albums holding black and white prints.
