Bibliography
This image appears in Holloway, Robert E. (1905). 'Through Newfoundland with the camera', St John's : Dicks and Co. The text was completed after his death by his family and it is probable that the plates were reproduced from negatives by his daughter Elsie as they are stamped on the reverse 'The Holloway Studio'.
