Photographs taken in the district around Loughton (Essex, England), including wedding scenes of the marriage of Thomas Berry Cusack Smith and Winifred (nee Maitland) in 1896, and later, scenes with their young daughter Maia Wilhemina Cusack Smith. The latter part of the album includes images of life and events in colonial Samoa during the time T B Cusack Smith was posted there as British consul, with views of the consulate, general views of Samoa, and portraits of several Samoan dignitaries. Several scenes show various performers at the British consulate in a farce by John Maddison Morton. As well, one photograph shows the unveiling of a statue of Queen Victoria at the Legislative Council Buildings in Pietermaritzburg (South Africa) in July 1890. At the end of the album there are a number of images of Cambridge and Dresden, circa 1889. Many of the photographs were taken by Thomas Berry Cusack Smith, but some are identified as being taken by professional photographer C C Cutchey (Loughton), and by friends in Samoa, H W Bowker, and Colonel W L Samuells.
