Views of Labrador
53 leaves of photographs with an additional photo mounted to the cover. The subjects range from landscapes, scenes of the orphanages, "doctoring under difficult conditions,” and quaint views of life with some injejcted humor (Shows their first hospital, and that hospital on fire "Battle Harbour, after a cigarette”).
