SIR,
Downing Street, 6 May, 1913. WITH reference to my Circular despatch of the 17th of March,* I have the honour to inform you that the Visual Instruction Committee have arranged with Mr. Algernon E. Aspinall, Secretary to the West India Committee, to prepare a set of lantern lectures on the British Possessions in the West Indies, in South and Central America, and in the Western Atlantic.
2. The Committee would be glad if you would be good enough to supply them with photographs showing the typical scenery, and illustrating the different aspects of the life of the inhabitants, of [Jamaica and its dependencies] [Trinidad and Tobago] [the Windward Islands] [the Leeward Islands] [the Bahamas] [Barbados].
3. The accompanying list has been drawn up by Mr. Aspinall, but in addition to views of those subjects the Committee would be glad to receive any further photo- graphs which may appear useful. It has been found that a type of photograph well suited to the Committee's purpose is the artistic photograph by the competent amateur, which brings out some definite point of interest. Many such photographs have been supplied to the Committee by officials and residents in other Colonies, and it is possible that some of the officers of your Government may have views which they would be willing to place at the disposal of the Committee. Clear prints are well adapted to the making of lantern slides if the original negatives are not available. A short description of each photograph would be of great assistance to the writer of the lectures.
4. It is understood that photographs have already been supplied to the West India Committee and to the Royal Colonial Institute, but the Visual Instruction Committee would prefer, if possible, to have an entirely different set of views.
5. You will observe, on reference to the accompanying specimen book of lectures, that illustrations are given of a few of the slides, and while it will be assumed that permission is given to reproduce all photographs as lantern slides, it is suggested that a note should be made of any case in which a photograph is not available for use as a book illustration.
