Other Information

P.52571.VH to P.52600.VH and P.55919.VH to P.55931.VH were found inside the envelope now numbered C262/2/6/1/. This was inside C262/2/6/1/ which came from the drawer now numbered as C262/2/. The drawer is the second of the entire green cabinet which was formerly numbered as batch 150, and now re-numbered C262/.

A note by Chris Wright (of RAI) mentions that although the envelope (C262/2/6/) is supposed to have photographs from Solomon Is, New Zealand and New Britain collected by Von Hugel, only photos from New Zealand were found inside [3/12/99].

This catalogue record has been updated with the support of the Getty Grant Program One. [Alex Nadin, 4/3/2003].
