Negatives (Ref: D/LL 79-93)

It should be noted that the negatives listed below (D/LL 79-93) were originally found in an envelope marked 'pictorial negs. 1929'. This date should be treated with caution, however, as many of the prints of these negatives which are held among these papers are endorsed '1931' or '1933' . (All prints are cross referenced with the original negatives, if held, and vice-versa.) On the information available it is not possible to say which of the dates should be treated as the more authoritative.
