Abstract

An album of safari photographs, many duplicates of the prints in group 8, albums 3-5. Although the inventory describes this as an "album of original photographs of a hunting safari. Unidentified photographer, circa 1940s.", it is more likely from the same period as the group 8 albums, 1900-1920.
