This series comprises 27 black and white (b/w) photographic prints. Twenty-four prints are mounted in a brown cardboard photograph album, 20.5 x 15.5 x 1 cm. Three loose prints are copies of image AA 1/4/7. All the photographs appear to relate to Point McLeay in South Australia. Some of these prints are also represented in Series AA 1/3 and AA 1/5. The photographs include some well known individuals including Rev. G Taplin (see AA 319) and David Unaipon (see AA 486).

The brown cardboard album is labelled on the inside back cover 'Made In Australia By Harringtons LTD. No. 200'. The album is very fragile. The album and loose prints are stored in a binder titled 'AA 1 Aborigines' Friends' Association (AFA) Photographic Prints, Album 1 of 4', which also holds series AA 1/3 and part of AA 1/5. All place names and proper names from the annotations and captions have been indexed. Note that some items show unidentified people and places.

Photograph block numbers have been written in pencil next to some photographs. The individual photographs in the album are numbered with an extra control number; the first photograph was labelled AA 1/4/1/1, the second AA 1/4/1/2 and so on. For the purposes of inclusion in this database this extra number has been omitted hence the photographs are now numbered using AA 1/4/1, AA 1/4/2, and so on.

This series was described by South Australian Museum archivist Kay L Mead in 1980. In her listing she recorded captions for some of the photographs from the publication Australian Aborigines. The edition of Australian Aborigines from which the captions were copied has not been located but the captions have been retained in the inventory for each photograph in the 'Details' field.

The series was part of Acc. No. 86.
