The album, which belonged to the family of Saxon W.B. Foster, consists of approximately 100 photographs documenting Lord Liverpool's tour in 1919 of the Cook Islands (including Rarotonga, Mangaia, Mauke, Atiu and Mitiaro), Niue, Samoa (including Upolu, Savaii, and Pago Pago), and Suva. The photographs document official occasions associated with the Vice-Regal visit: ceremonies, feasts, dances and other performances, and military inspections, with the participants on both sides wearing impressive costumes. There are also photographs of shipping, harbours, streets, buildings, plantations, reefs and beaches. In addition there are five photographs documenting the crowning of the Ariki, Tiuirua, in Avarua, Rarotonga, on 30 August 1921.
