Valentine album
Date: [Circa 1880s-1900s]
By: James Valentine & Sons (Dundee, Scotland); Hawley & Company
Reference: PA1-q-251
Description: Album of photographs taken by James Valentine & Sons, circa 1880s-1900s. Most of the images have a caption printed into the photograph, and many also have a hand-written caption beneath. At some point many of the photographs have been removed from their slots, and others have been placed in the wrong slot so that the subject and caption on the photograph does not match with the caption below. Places are listed above. There are five photographs of Maori, three of women, two of chiefs. The names given are difficult to identify, having complicated spelling, and the captions on photographs have faded in some cases. They include "Maori wahine Ngareti"; "Maori chief Hoera Watene"; "Maori chiefs Panapa Tenihotiti and Topopoki" and "Maori wahine Huihana?". One photograph, of Atiamuri, has the name "Hawley" as photographer. Other Titles - "Valentine & Sons. Photographs" Quantity: 1 album(s) Album(s). Physical Description: Album with greenish cover, entitled "Valentine & Sons. Photographs" in gold lettering; 39 x 31 cm
