Photographs have been glued into the book or sewn into inserted pages. They are mainly undated. Four images show army officers: Lieutenant Colville, Lieutenant Henry Bally, Major Lloyd, and Captain Close. Other photographs show: two images of Mechanics Bay in Auckland (one with waka), Auckland Harbour, "the Public Park Auckland", a horse and rider about to cross a bridge over a river somewhere near Auckland, and New Plymouth (1866).
