The Sawyer family left Australia in January 1924, returning to New York via Ceylon, India, Egypt, and Europe. Dr. Sawyer, as the Rockefeller Foundation's assistant regional director for the East, spent the first part of the journey visiting RF hookworm control sites (and potential sites) in Ceylon and India, but combined this with sightseeing. He spent April 7-8 touring the Taj Mahal and surrounding area. The caption on the back of the photograph reads, "Taj Mahal immediately after sunset. About 6:30pm. Apr 7, 1924. 110 screen. Time Exposure." The man at far left in photo is not identified.
