Scope and content
Photographs taken during a trip to southern Africa during August and September 1905. None of the negatives is dated, but the shots can be dated from the diary which REY kept for most of the trip, together with information from letters home. Photographs feature Table Mountain, Muizenberg, Karroo, Natal, the Transvaal, Bechuanaland, Rhodesia, Portuguese East Africa, and British East Africa (as they were then).
