[British Royalty]

City of Adelaide. Souvenir of Visit of T.R.H. the Duke and Duchess of York, 1927 [cover title]

A cord-bound loose-leaf cloth album (230 × 340 mm) containing 22 gelatin silver photographs (generally 120 × 200 mm or the reverse, with some a little smaller), mounted on both sides of card album leaves with printed captions. The first plate is a composite group portrait of the then-current Adelaide City Councillors under the Lord Mayor Sir Wallace Bruce; the rest show the Royal couple arriving, officiating and generally being feted, plus some of the rare treats they witnessed or received.

The first photograph carries the blindstamp of Hammer, a local studio; four others carry the blindstamp of Walter McNeill, 41 Rundle Street, Adelaide; the others are uncredited. Most of the prints have a little silvering-out near the edges; the album is a little rubbed at the extremities, with the bottom corners bumped; ownership details on the front pastedown; the overall condition is excellent.
