Notes

The Riley 1911 catalogue supplement attributes this set to their maker's code 'ZY', which in other places is applied to sets by Graystone Bird. However the slide titles suggest a compilation of slides from different sources (possibly official photographs, or drawings reproduced from news magazines), and this set seems unlikely to be by Bird.

Slide 20 is credited in the Riley catalogue as 'Photo by Downey, 1/6 uncoloured', so was almost certainly an official court photograph.
