Summer's album

Album of photographs, postcards and newspaper cuttings relating to Samoa and Tonga, circa 1920s.

Many of the photographs, and some of the newspaper cuttings have limited captions, or no identification at all.

At the beginning of the album there is a signed Christmas card from George Spafford Richardson, with a photograph of him and another European standing in front of a fale with a large group of Samoan men.

One image of Robert Louis Stevenson ([p 2]), is signed by him, and another one shows the tomb of Stevenson and his wife Frances Matilda (Aolele). There are a number of views of Vailima, Stevenson's home, one early view showing Stevenson on the verandah with a group of women and another man standing above looking over the balustrade.
