| Summary: |
Negatives of images taken by George Warren Swire, mainly during his visits 'Out East' in his capacity as a director of the firm of John Swire & Son. He was a keen and proficient photographer, and his photographs seemed to have been taken with the aim of constructing a visual aide memoire of the infrastructure of Taikoo's activities in China. The images cover every aspect of the firm's operations in the East and document buildings, premises and living quarters as well as plant, machinery and other facilities and staff.
The negatives themselves may not be consulted, but these have been digitised and are free to view on the Historical Photographs of China website: https://www.hpcbristol.net/
