Description

Album of photographs taken by mountaineer and photographer Arthur Seymour Sutton-Turner, all related to mountaineering in the Southern Alps, and all with good captions.

A group of mountain guides are named (initials and surnames), and a young girl is named (Nella Cook). Other groups of climbers (men and women) are not individually named, but their location is given.

Nineteen untitled loose photographs are inserted in a pocket in the back cover of the album. They show various mountain scenes with several close-ups of keas
