| Content and context |
|
Little is known of Albert Ernest Lamb. A letter from Mrs H.M. Halse, the donor, states that he 'joined Milner Government in S. Africa in about 1901/2. Lamb previously in 'Imperial Treasury''. However, a careful search of Colonial Office Lists, Staff Lists and other sources has failed to yield any further information.
The collection consists of a negatives album, produced by Lennon Ltd., Cape Town, containing 125 x 95 mm negatives and an envelope with six further negatives of the same size. Some are poor photographs but many that are apparently very faint contain a good deal of detail. Seven modern prints have also been made and are listed as Y305U/105-111. The images were taken by Albert Ernest Lamb and the captions are from the list in the front of the album.
Given by the Oxford Colonial Records Project in 1971. The negatives had been sent to them by Mrs H.M. Halse, Rhodesia, in 1966.
