Description
This volume showing views of Jamaica, St Vincent and Bermuda, appears to consist of three different kinds of photographs. There are
(1) professional photographs, largely street scenes and botanical subjects, taken by local trade photographers
(2) ethnographic images of Jamaican people in characteristic dress and poses
(3) amateur shots of trees and houses.
Several photographs were taken by Norton Bros. and the 4 views of Hamilton, Bermuda, are taken from a numbered series.
