Measuring 175 x 215 mm, this album contains sepia photographs 170 x 115 mm in size. Album spaces 65 and 74 are blank. There are no captions, but some photographs can be identified as Tunis by comparison with postcards in Y304H. Others may be mentioned in the 1922 North Africa Diary (see Introduction), e.g. the Cathedral (p.7/plate 57), Carthage (pp.12ff/plate 59ff), camels (p.66/plates 83, 84), and Porte de France (p.78/plates 49-50), but no detailed research has been attempted.

The woman is using a blackboard (outdoors).

82 x 82 mm. glass slides with brief, undated captions.

82 x 82 mm. glass slides. The collection includes slides by Miss Margaret Laing, who served in CMS hospitals in Ngora/Ongino and Kumi, Uganda, during 1929-48. Items 17-23 are by Laing and 24-28 are probably hers as well.

100 x 85 mm. Y3043KK/17 appears to have been taken on the same occasion.

157 x 115 mm. A view showing three men and a woman standing on the front steps of a house, possibly in Uganda. Cuthbert Christy is at the left of the group, other figures are unidentified. Photographer unknown.

A printed book illustrated by photographic prints. The captions have been used as titles and may contain offensive, inappropriate or outdated terms. They have been retained to reflect the context of the collection's creation. The book resulted from a journey from Cape Town via Kimberley and the Transvaal to the Victoria Falls and back to Port Elizabeth.

A collection of high quality photographs, measuring 210 x 160 mm, mounted on black album sheets. They are uncaptioned but most have been identified from books on the Cape and on South African architecture; 25-31 are almost certainly photographs of Zulu peoples; the remainder are less clearly identified. Photographer unknown.

190 x 130 mm. This shows eleven Europeans (with Smyly seated in the centre) and one African. According to the ‘Sierra Leone Weekly News’ of 27 November 1897, Smyly was a member of the Fairlough Lodge of Mark Masons, but Creoles were prominent in the membership, and occupied the posts of Secretary and Treasurer, which makes the predominantly European character of this photograph puzzling. For Freemasons in Sierra Leone, see also Y30448C/9 and 21.

119 x 168 mm. A view showing a group of men gathered near the base of a tree and armed with spears and shields.

167 x 120 mm. A view showing a group of tribesmen seated in long grass. Single coloured flags fly from all the mens’ spears: this might be the red flag of Zanzibar and indicate employment by the Sultan.

164 x 123 mm. A similar view to Y30468A/6 showing a group of warriors standing or squatting in long grass.

40 x 62 mm. neg. and 78 x 111 mm. contact print. Another group of gossipers at the market.

62 x 40 mm. The Beauty Chorus. The people from this hilly country where there are no flat pieces of ground are small, well built with very muscular limbs.

62 x 40 mm. Some of them followed me around to see what I was up to with the camera so I snapped them whilst they thought I was taking something else.
