Album of 66 items, mainly b/w snapshots (6cm x 8.5cm), taken during a trip to Greece, Easter 1948 and during a trip to Italy and Sicily, Easter 1949.
Although the album includes photographs of Delphi the four friends on the trip did not actually visit Delphi. Anne Wilson thinks that these photographs may have been obtained later, possibly from Alison Duke. It is thought that most of the photographs were taken by Margaret Bowen.
Most of the photographs and postcards are titled, and include:
