Aerial photo of Lamont-Hussey Observatory situated
on Naval Hill. The words Bloemfontein was added to the photo and the
arrow points towards the town centre, as the Observatory is on a hill
surrounded by the city. The emblem of the White Horse is a well known
feature of Naval Hill. Commentary by P Seitzer; "Undated and no indication
of who the photographer was. Probably from one of Slipher's trips
to Lamont-Hussey in the 1950s, since Henize's shelter is evident."
