Paintings by C.J. Andersson and his wife Sarah, including some copies of Burchell paintings, portraits of C.J. Andersson, his wife and his father (Llewellyn Lloyd), lithographs from his book Lake Ngami (London, 1856) and water-colours by W.J. Burchell. They relate mainly to South West Africa and a few to South Africa.
There is a detailed inventory of the Andersson collection, but the collection itself (including the originals of the above paintings) is not held at Historical Papers.
The collection almost entirely contains handwritten notes for speeches, talks and addresses. Dr Mary McLarty was a Transvaal Provincial Councillor and educationist, and the speeches are prepared in that capacity. Apart from politics, she was vastly interested in education, churches, Hospitals and nursing, girl guides, the role of women and adolescents, race relations and literary subjects, plus a range of notes on various places of the world.
