Scope and content

Photographs in sepia and in black and white. Views of Trinity include Great Court, the fountain, the Master's Lodge, King Edward's Gate, a view through gateways in Whewell's Court, and Nevile's Gate with Trinity Lane beyond. There is also a photograph of Trinity Lane running south towards the Old Schools with King's College Chapel behind, probably taken from V. H. Mottram's room in Staircase P, Great Court; it is this room which is likely shown in the single interior shot of the album. A photograph of the alcoves in the tribunal at the west wall of the Hall, each occupied by a figure in cap and gown, and a view of the river and the tower of St John's College chapel from North Paddock complete the images from Trinity; there is also a view labelled 'Coe Fen' which is mounted on two layers of card.
