Indigenous people affected by famine, Vārānasi , India, ca. 1920

"A famine scene in India. Many of our best Christian workers were once famine sufferers." Men, women, and children of all ages who have been affected by the famine huddle together. The effects of the famine are very apparent. This photograph is from an album prepared by W. K. Norton of The Pilgrims Mission, Benares [Vārānasi].
