Notes
General note
When acquired the sketches and photographs were loose in an album which has now been discarded.
Signature / Inscriptions
Some of the views are titled, and a few have 'M.C. Denison' written in ink on the back. One is signed 'M.C.D.' and dated 1854, another is signed 'A.E.B. 1846'.
One of the 11 photographs has a caption 'Ann Namoi & Jane Nobbs' and 3 of Aborigines of King George Sound, South Australia.
Attributions / Conjectures
The sketches do not appear to be in the same style as those by Mary Charlotte Denison at A2037.
