Photographs of animals at the zoo, lions with cubs, koala bears and two hippopotamuses. Several images of royalty, with the Queen Mother at Hamilton, on her visit to New Zealand in 1958, and Princess Alexandra, visiting in 1971. Several photographs show brides and wedding parties, ranging from Dorothy Shires and Marjorie Nicolls, both married in 1920, to Joan and John McWhannell, married in 1953. A number of farming images, including those published in the Herald, include one of drovers' dogs "after completing four weeks trek with a large mob of cattle" in the Auckland area, mustering in the Craigieburn Range (Southern Alps), and new-born lambs (one a group of four black lambs, and one a white lamb).
