The photo in the collection is glued to an album. The text reads:
An official reception for the Duke of Connaught at Pedder's Wharf. The Indian Guard of Honour and a military band wait on the pier for his arrival, whilst several small boats line the route of his approach into the harbour. The Duke made his visit shortly before a devastating typhoon struck the city on 18 September.
