Scope and Contents
231 x 178 mm. A view from the lawn showing the rear facades of the hotel, with guests standing on the verandah. The hotel is in Harbour Street, Kingston: 'The Myrtle Bank Hotel has become a synonym for everything associated with elegance and comfort in accommodation, the superlative in food and wine, and all that is best and brightest in the innumerable phases of attraction so indispensable to modern ideals for the needs of the day and the pleasures of the night… On the verandahs of the Myrtle Bank more people take their ease and refreshments than in any other hotel in the island, and visitors from the cold lands of the North swiftly 'fall' for the rhythm of the rocking chairs that seem to swing more emphatically in the affirmative when the well-trained waiters answer the electric bells that are everywhere to hand..' (Macmillan 1909).
