A. M. Hopewell Collection
Sri Lanka/Ceylon
In 1908 and prior to his marriage, Val Hopewell went for a sea voyage intending to visit his uncle, Ernest Hopewell, and cousins in India. However, meeting his sister Florence on the way in Perth, he lent her some money and then only had sufficient funds to make it as far as Ceylon, or as it is now known, Sri Lanka.
These photographs are probably from that trip.
