Localities pictured include Kingston, Port Royal, and Gordon Town, Jamaica; Barranquilla, Cartagena, Ciénaga, Sabanilla, and Santa Marta, Colombia; and Ancón, Colón, and Panama City, Panama. Original handwritten captions are written in white ink on the leaves beneath most photographs. Original handwritten inscriptions are written in black ink and pencil on the versos of most photographs.
