One side showing The Gap and South Head at Watsons Bay in the eastern suburbs of Sydney, Australia (circa 1903); and on the other side a view of the town of Hobart, Tasmania (from Lansdowne Crescent) taken by John Watt Beattie.
    - Two collodion paper prints showing the harbour of Lyttelton, New Zealand by an unknown photographer, and a landscape view across the Bealey near Christchurch, New Zealand taken by E. Wheeler & Son - these also mounted on the recto and verso of an oblong of grey card.
    - One unmounted collodion paper print is of the Waimangu Geyser, which is located near Rotorua, New Zealand. This says JM2070 on the front - and possibly refers to the James Ingram McDonald (the painter, photographer, filmmaker, museum director, cultural ambassador, film censor, and promoter of Maori arts and crafts) and may have been taken whilst he was employed by the New Zealand Government Tourist Department in the early 20th Century. The geyser was known to erupt on a cycle of around 36 hours and would reach heights of up to 450 metres. Written on the verso of the photograph it reads: "The column of steam is about 1200 feet high". This geyser stopped erupting in 1904.

It is perhaps symptomatic of the fashion industry that although the hair stylist and make up artist are both credited, the model herself is not names. Laroche (1921-1989) was one of the first designers to introduce separates (ie. jacket and trousers). His company continues today.

    . Une belle photographie en noir et blanc d'une séance de photos de mode pour Guy Laroche Haute-Couture. Photographie originale conservée sous passe partout. Modèle (anonyme) en veste de gabardine et chapeau de feutre. Au verso, le générique indique qu'il s'agit de la collection automne/hiver de Guy Laroche. Photographie en état neuf, maintenue sous un passe partout rigide avec un support cartonné fin. La photographie est pratiquement à l'état neuf. Le passe-partout est propre et net, avec seulement un peu de ruban adhésif sur les bords. Les dimensions de la photographie sont de 29,5 cm x 21 cm. Le passe-partout mesure 45 cm x 36 cm. Il est peut-être symptomatique de l'industrie de la mode que, bien que le coiffeur et le maquilleur soient tous deux mentionnés, le mannequin lui-même n'est pas nommé. Laroche (1921-1989) a été l'un des premiers créateurs à introduire des vêtements séparés (c'est-à-dire une veste et un pantalon). Sa société existe encore aujourd'hui.

    Citation du site de l'éditeur : Les photographies de Sébastien Meunier plongent le spectateur dans un monde inquiétant. Sur fond de vie et de mort, il invoque une étrange distribution de personnages, d'animaux, d'objets et de symboles pour créer une mise en scène émotionnelle semblable aux scènes d'un film qui se gravent dans notre inconscient. Ses obsessions se révèlent également dans la précision exceptionnelle de son travail, chaque photographie témoignant d'une technicité méticuleuse. Ce livre révèle l'univers vivant que Sébastien Meunier a laissé derrière lui.

By the turn of the century, they were being funded by the French government to produce images and postcards of Algeria in order to promote colonial tourism and stimulate private investment.
