Samuel Lawrence Ward’s Persia and Other Travels photo album contains pictures he took and some he purchased. Benjamin Briggs Ward Jr. projected the images and created some photos of the glass slides SLW used in his talks about Persia. He asked Abby Ward Kerr to describe them in about 1970. The projected slides were photographed and labeled with Abby’s descriptions (e.g., “Men having tea).
