Album with photographs

The album contains prints from the printing blocks, and other press clippings pasted onto sheets of cardboard. It remains unknown who compiled the album. Many of these photographs appear in the "African Yearly Register", see also biographies, section C1. Some of the cuts printed on better quality paper might have been clipped by Skota from the 'Abantu-Batho Almanac', published circa 1916-1922, which is considered lost and by now no longer available in any library or archive. Some of the photographs of individuals have not been labelled or were not legible, and are therefore not listed below. The spelling of names has been applied as per original labelling.
