Description: Album containing photographs of New Zealand scenes, none of which have captions, all taken by an unidentified photographer. There are nine loose photographs inserted in an envelope inside the front of the album. Several of these are scenes of the Franz Josef Glacier; one of a lake with the Southern Alps on the right in the distance; and one of a river bed with the moutain range in the background. Three photographs are of Maori groups. The first shows a large group of young women in the foreground performing in front of a meeting house. They are wearing long white gowns, with dark coloured sashes across their shoulders. Behind them, the heads of men and women, most wearing hats, are visible. The other two images are of a small group, in both of which a kaumataua is seated in the foreground wearing a cloak. The first one shows one man in European dress, a man in soldier's uniform, three women and three children surrounding the kaumatua. The second one focuses on the kaumatua, with three children alongside. The areas seen in the album are possibly in the Hamilton area, one of a ferry passing under a bridge, one of a timber mill, and a number of bridges. Several show the exterior and interior of a church. An ivy-covered lychgate leads to the church with a shingle roof, and high, narrow stained glass windows; the interior shows the main aisle leading to the altar. Quantity: 1 album(s) Album(s).
