Description

Photographs of areas in the South Island taken by various identified and unidentified photographers, with several taken by "Guy" (i.e. Guy Clayton Morris).

Photographs include a very clear image of the interior of a mountain hut (no. 04) showing two unidentified men, one lying on an upper bunk and the other seated on a box under the window, cooking and kitchen equipment and a metal-bound soda siphon. There are two interior photographs of the Hermitage, one showing the closed-in verandah, and the other showing the dining room. Others of interest are an early view of the first Lower Greenstone Huts, and one which is possibly of the early days of William Batson's accomodation house.

Many of the places shown are listed above, though many have no identification.

Quantity: 44 b&w original photographic print(s).

Physical Description: Silver gelatin prints.

Finding Aids: Typescript inventory of this box held in Photographic Archive backfile under "Kennedy, William Alexander.".
