Other Information

P.58266.HUT to P.58356.HUT were found inside the envelope C283/. The latter came from the Wooden drawer VI.

Most of the photographs are from Assam Hills, and they belong to the 1920s, and were probably part of Hutton’s personal collection. There is no evidence to relate any of the images to William Ridgeway.
