Scope and content
A number of negatives in different formats but mostly c. 45 x 38 mm. Earlier, larger format negatives appear to be family snapshots, whilst the majority are views of the Far East in the early - mid 1930s. Some further identification may be possible by reference to the processing envelopes used to store the negatives.
