"Mohamedan Mosque Purulia". Exterior view of a Mosque with trees in the background and bare land and water in front. The Puruliya leprosy asylum was founded in 1888 by the German Lutheran Missionary Rev. Henry Uffman with funding from the Mission to Lepers in Great Britain and assistance from the German Gossner’s mission. Rev. Uffman’s daughter Mary died from leprosy, aged eight. This image is from a collection of photographs which possibly belonged to Dr Karl Uffman. He studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh, joined the Kikuyu mission, from 1901 to 1905, and was the son of Dr Henry Uffman.
