Several photographs show scenes of public interest, including a peace demonstration, celebrations for the coronation of King Edward VII in 1902; a group of soldiers marching along Vivian Street, before leaving for the South African War in 1899; and two views of a major landslide in the manawatu Gorge in which a large group of men and women (passengers from a train), had to leave the train and walk across the slip, while workmen helped carry their belongings.
