 Item
Reference Code: GBR/0115/RCS/BAM 10/23

Scope and Contents

353 x 267 mm. A view looking across undulating, newly-cleared land planted out with rows of tobacco seedlings. A photograph probably taken a short time after the covers, used to protect the seedlings from the sun, had been removed. The plants are ready for harvesting some 80-90 days after the seedlings have been transplanted and after one crop the land was either abandoned or put to other uses for several years before tobacco was planted there again.
