has been established in the Map Room of the Royal Geographical Society, if
all the Fellows who have taken photographs during their travels, would
forward copies of them to the Map Curator, by whom they would be acknow
ledged. Should the donor have purchased the photographs, it will be useful
for reference if the name of the photographer and his address are given.
As a rule, Cameras have either to be slung over the shoulder,
or carried in the hand.
