Vintage prints measuring from 3x4 to 4x5 inches chiefly represent images from Capitol Hill, Washington, D.C., and locations in southeast Asia such as the island of Celebes (Sulawesi, Indonesia) and the Philippines (one image). There is also one image of an early London horse-drawn tram, an image taken on board the "Amorita" racing yacht off of Montauk, N.Y., and a dredge in an unknown location, possibly in Russia.
Modern 8x10 inch prints produced from glass plates feature what seems to be an English family - man, woman, and three female children - posing and playing games on an English estate; the father strongly resembles the Nellore, India mine overseer L.L. Wickham, seend in image RL01177-P-1292.
