One 397 page album of annotated photographs taken by George Reginald Carline during his visit to South Africa with The British Association for the Advancement of Science in 1929. The photographs depict buildings, scenery, native populations and travelers in various locations in Africa including: Southern Rhodesia, Zimbabwe, Mashonland, Victoria Falls, London Missionary Station in Kawimbe, Lake Tanganyika, Lake Victoria, Kavirondo, Kenya, Mombasa, the Red Sea, Suez and Messina. The album also contains photographs of Carline.
