People involved in slide production

PARKER, Major G.H., F.R.G.S., M.C.  (1883- after 1957) – photographer, slides [0], 1, 1a, 1b, 2-10, 10a, 10b, 11-12, 12a-20, 20a, 21-24, 24a, 24b, 24c, 25-48, 48c, 49-52, 52a, 53-96

Notes

The slide titles and order are taken from Parker's handwritten lecture notes, also in the collection of the Museum of Barnstaple and North Devon. Eleven of the slides (numbers 74-84 as listed here) are also used in Parker's lecture set [Petra, Palmyra and Baalbek] (Lucerna ID 3009460).

The rear view of Slide 10a shows that the image is photographed from an article 'Pioneers of the Syrian desert: the Damascus-Baghdad mail celebrates its tenth anniversary' by Dorothy Mackay -- the bus service (according to Parker's lecture notes) was inaugurated in October 1923. This suggests that the additional slides with suffix letters were added to the set in about 1933.

Slide 13a is a commercially-produced slide, presumably added to illustrate an important location in Parker's lecture narrative for which he did not have a photograph of his own.
