- Photographs PH1981:0997:005 and PH1981:0997:006 form panorama PH1981:0997:005-006. The photographs are mounted on different secondary supports, but it is probable that when the album PH1981:0997:001-049 was bound, their edges joined to form the complete panorama. Photograph PH1981:0997:005 comprises the left half of the panorama.
