This series comprises 58 black and white (b/w) photographic prints, of which 2 are copies, showing mostly unidentified Australian Aboriginal people; some in individual portraits, some in missions, towns and some in camps. Some of the images were probably taken by Ernest E Kramer (see AA 669). Item AA 1/63/53 shows a congregation outside Ebenezer Tabernacle in Alice Springs, Northern Territory. The prints are of varying size and format. Many have original annotations written on the reverse and some also have printers' instructions. Images AA 1/63/31 and AA 1/63/37 are mounted on paper with some annotations written on the paper. The prints are stored in a binder titled 'AA 1 Aborigines' Friends' Association (AFA) Photographic Prints, Album 4 of 4'.
