From: Coburn, Iris Alma, 1909-1995: Photographs

Reference: PA1-o-1839

Description: The album begins with the wedding of Iris Payne to Harry Coburn at an unidentified Wellington church in about 1948. There are a few photographs of the reception which include the bride, the groom, the cake, guests, and the bride's mother and father. One group of three photographs are of the bride with her mother, Florence Edith Payne. The next group of photographs relate to holidays taken by Iris and Harry Coburn from the late 1940s to about the mid 1950s. In the earlier part of the sequence they owned a late 1930s Austin car. Later this was replaced by a Standard 8 or Standard 10 dating from about 1954. The holidays covered many of the standard new Zealand tourist destinations in the north and south islands and Stewart Island. Many of the photographs show Iris and Harry with friends and family, sometimes picnicing on holiday, or visiting en route. Babies and other children often feature in these groups. A group of colour prints date from 1962, 1964, and 1966. There are some scenic views, but most show groups of people. One shows Iris with a hugh red gladiolus bloom. Three photographs at the end of the album show Iris, Harry, and Florence in a group of people looking over the damaged ship `Wanganella' in the floating dock in Wellington, probably in 1947. Loose prints have the same range of subjects as most of the rest of the album. Among them is one colour print dated 1971 showing Iris standing at a gate decorated with a variety of wheels.
