IMAGE INFORMATION


Notice the beautifully made chequer-woven apple baskets, of pounded ash woodsplints. This venue is thought to be Lennox Island, because a photo of Chief John Sark of Lennox Island is included in this series of Mitchell's glass negatives, probably all taken on the same excursion.
