Album compiled by Theo Nightingall in the early 1930s
Date: ca1931-ca1934
From: Nightingall/Morrell :Albums, negatives, prints and transparencies taken by Jack and Theo Nightingall
By: Nightingall, Theodore Charles, 1914-1986
Reference: PA1-o-1030
Description: A record of the life of a man in his late teens which includes his interest in aircraft, motorcycles, physical culture and body image, sports, and accidents. Two images show flights of Gipsy Moth aircraft over Auckland, and four show Kingsford Smith's "Southern Cross" in flight. One sequence of images records a trip on motorcycles to the West Coast and Nelson with views of mountains, river vallies, towns, and tourist attractions such as glaciers, pancake rocks and gold dredges. Another group shows the gannet colony at Cape Kidnappers. Theo and some of his friends were interested in the physical culture of the time which was a combination of body building and gymnastic stunts. As a result there are several pages of men displaying their muscular development, or performing acrobatic balancing stunts on beaches, mountain tops and motorcycles. One group of photographs shows the machinary and workers in a factory, possibly for weaving fabric, and another group relates to the flax fibre industry in which his father was involved in some way after arriving in New Zealand in about 1931.
