Order number: Melanesian Mission 7/76/03 - Map Cabinet 3
Summary: Black & white. Full caption on reverse of photograph reads: "A panoramic photograph of the Colony of St Francis for Lepers at Quaibata, where I earn my daily bread, and find my hearts content. Since this picture was taken, several changes have taken place; there being now twice the number of lepers in the colony, of those shown in the photograph. A small hospital building is now in the course of erection some twenty feet this side of the dispensary; and the chapel of St Francis is now twice the length." [author unknown]
