The photographs taken by Gerald reflect his interest in the cultures he was visiting. His pictures were rarely of major landmarks or historic sites, but rather of the lifestyle and people he observed while visiting a port. This photograph of the thatch covered wagons of Colombo. |

These photographs were made during his trip to Kandy, Ceylon. The government provided rail transportation for the fleet to visit the city of Kandy for recreation. At left, children, at right the train station. |
