Scope and Contents
80 albumen prints, each approximately 17 x 24.5 cm, one photograph to each leaf, the front free endpaper with an illuminated manuscript title, followed by a printed list of titles on three leaves, ‘List of Negatives taken in Abyssinia, from Zoualla to Magdala by the Photographers of the 10th Company, Royal Engineers’; some foxing on blanks, minor fading at the edges of some images; contemporary half morocco, cloth sides; a fine example.
The panoramic views of Zoulla, Annesley Bay, Senafe, Bolago and Magdala are sometimes found mounted together and folded; in this particular album, the sections of the panoramas are mounted separately, one section to an album leaf. Of special interest is photograph No. 78 which shows the field dark room and other apparatus in the foreground.
