Reference: PA1-f-056

Description: Mainly publicity photographs for New Zealand Railways, most taken by unidentified photographers, though there are several portraits taken by S P Andrew (Stanley Polkingorne Andrew); also a number of images near the beginning of the album have a pencilled note which says "Mr Hinge's negative". There are a number of photographs of advertisements and posters for New Zealand Railways, including one promoting safety at railway crossings. In this scene a young woman is holding up a banner "STOP! Safety first", wearing a hat labelled "Stop", a sash labelled "Safety first" and wearing a skirt with the image of a car crash at a railway crossing. At the end of the album there are several photographs of postage stamps. Several photographs were taken at the opening of the Auckland Railway Station. Then a number show luggage or goods being loaded onto the interislander ferry; and near the back of the album a series showing racehorses, with one view of a horse being lifted onto a ship in a crate. A large section shows the Wellington rally for Lord and Lady Baden-Powell at the Basin Reserve in 1931, and later in the album views of them laying a wreath at the Citizen's War memorial (Cenotaph). Pages 38-43 contain 20 black and white photographs of water colour paintings by Thomas Ryan, from the 1890s. The subjects are mostly lakes and mountains in the South Island, including Lakes Mahinapua, Wakatipu, Te Anau, Wanaka and Manapouri; Teremakau River, Bealey River, Teremakau River and Clinton Valley; and in the North Island Lakes Rotorua and Tikitapu, and two of the Uruwera. On page 64 there is a photograph of a barred window. In front there is an ice-axe, a pair of skis, a fishing rod, 2 rifles, and a lidded straw picnic basket. It seems to have been used as the basis for a New Zealand Railways poster advertising outdoor life in New Zealand (see p 65). There are a number of pages of portraits of children, several of which have been formed into montages of images. None of these are identified. Some portraits of dignitaries involved with New Zealand Railways are identified with surname, but many are not identified at all. Quantity: 1 album(s) Album(s).
