Photographs of Antigua

Coloured photographs. The collection was made in connection with a proposed hotel development and the first fifty-two prints show scenes on the Ffryes Point Estate, on the west coast, about seven and a half miles from St. John's and twelve from the airport, where the hotel was to be built. The next thirty-one are of St. John's and the last seven of English Harbour. A map of Antigua has been inserted. There is a list of captions with the album, the references to English Harbour have been considerably amended and corrected.

Unless restrictions apply, the collection is open for consultation by researchers using the Manuscripts Reading Room at Cambridge University Library.
