Scope and content

Three photographs from the same time period, probably commercially produced, with captions in white lettering at the bottom. The Great Gate is captioned "Henry's[?] Gateway Trinity College Cambridge", and shows the gateway with two lamp posts outside, and one visible in Great Court. The fountain is captioned "Fountain Trinity College Cambridge," and carries the number 15321. J.V. A figure is facing the camera across the court under the Great Gate arch, and a wheelbarrow is parked by the sundial, while lamp posts are present. The photograph of the bridge shows punts in the foreground with seats in back with scrollwork, people in boats in the distance and people on a blanket on the St. John's bank of the river.
