Clip description

This clip shows the gathering of people, probably members of the Farey family, at an alpine lodge. They are all well dressed in suits and hats.

Curator’s notes

Leslie Farey shot the arrival of what could be his relatives and friends to an alpine lodge.

Men, women and children arrive and some pose for the camera. The footage is all hand-held and basic in-camera edits help to form a simple sequence.
