Notes

These slides were not offered as a single set, but as a stock from which purchasers could make their own selection. They correspond to images from Gibson's very large output of paper print photographs of Cornwall.

The titles used here are mostly those allocated by the Manchester Geographical Society, and may be slightly different from those used by Gibson and Sons, though no contemporary catalogues or other records for their slide production are yet known.
