Places are listed above. There are five photographs of Maori, three of women, two of chiefs. The names given are difficult to identify, having complicated spelling, and the captions on photographs have faded in some cases. They include "Maori wahine Ngareti"; "Maori chief Hoera Watene"; "Maori chiefs Panapa Tenihotiti and Topopoki" and "Maori wahine Huihana?". One photograph, of Atiamuri, has the name "Hawley" as photographer. Other Titles - "Valentine & Sons. Photographs" Quantity: 1 album(s) Album(s).
