McIntosh album 7

Album of photographs probably taken by George William Barltrop, chiefly showing facets of Christchurch and Lyttelton.

The first scenes are a group portrait of men and women with the caption `Camera club (flashlight)'; two photographs of a wedding, the first a group portrait, and the second the bride and groom, both scenes taken outside on a lawn outside a conservatory; the altar at St Thomas' (Newtown, Wellington); and an exterior and an interior view of St Barnabas' Church, Norfolk Island.

The rest of the album is scenes of the Christchurch and Lyttelton areas, including interior and exterior views of Christ Church Cathedral and of St Michaels' Church, Christchurch; views of Lyttelton and the Lyttelton Wharves; the Canterbury Museum and its gardens; Hagley Park and the Avon River.

The wedding groups, a young woman wearing a mortar board and gown on the steps of a church, and a family of four with their dog, are the only portraits, none of whom are identified.
