Description

Box of 13 lantern slides of an Arctic expedition to Spitzbergen in 1923-24, probably by H. W. Florey, with card box. The slides are 13 three-and-a-quarter-inch glass lantern slides, many of them labelled in MS 'H.W.F.'. They show the Oxford University Arctic Expedition to Spitzbergen in 1923-24, and were probably taken by H. W. Florey, the expedition doctor. See also 11594.
