The People of Gibraltar
1879 - Captain Buckle - Photographs of Gibraltar


Digital copies of late 19th century photographs of Gibraltar recently released by the National Archives are shown below. They were collected by Captain Buckle - Gibraltar's Colonial Engineer - and were displayed in the Governor's residence in an album dated 1879. The album may very well still be there. As for Buckle, he was accused the following year of removing certain documents from the Supreme Court and charged with contempt of court - there's gratitude for you!
