1. Burton Bros 1931 Glen Dhu, Lake Wanaka. ('Glen Dhu, Lake Wanaka Aspiring centre: flax L: reflexions') 1883.
     
    2. Burton Bros. 3075 'Muir & Moodie, late Burton Bros. Dunedin, N.Z.': Hall's Arm. ('Hall's Arm near Mouth looking up: framed ferns below. Sounds Jan: 85') Printed some time after 1898 by Muir & Moodie, this photograph was made in January 1885, most likely by Alfred H. Burton himself.
     
    3. Burton Bros. 4431 Mt. Earnslaw from Pigeon Island, Lake Wakatipu. ('Mt. Earnslaw from Pigeon I. small cabbage trees frot.[front?]' From the Lake Wakatipu series, 1886.
     
   

4. Burton Bros. 4488 Pembroke Peak from Head of Milford Sound ('Pembroke Peak from head of sou' [sound]. March 1887. [It is interesting that the catalogue entry does not identify the man with the camera case in the photograph, but it appears to be Fred Muir, rather than Harold Burton (1869-1901, Alfred's only son, who lost an arm due to a gunshot wound in 1890, and died from complications after a fall from his horse in 1901. See Hardwicke Knight, Burton Brothers Photographers (1980), pp. 43, for caption to illustration of BB4787, 1888, for which JM Forrester identifies FMB Muir and Harold Burton.]
     
   

5. Burton Bros. 4728 Mitre Peak, Milford Sound. ('Sounds trip Jan.'88.... Milford: Mitre Peak Heavy tree over branch across'.) January 1888.
     
    6. Burton Bros. 517 Rere Lake. ('Rere Lake Greenstones reflexion') c.1875.
     
    7. Burton Bros. 5764 Preservation Inlet N.Z. ('Preservation Inlet'). [It is not absolutely clear from Burton's catalogue, but because they noted that BB Nos. 5701 to at least BB5715 were 'Selected from Coxhead's Negatives' it is possible that this photograph was actually made by Frank A. Coxhead, or H. Coxhead, his brother. Of further interest is that Burton Bros., reissued it as a combination print which has had a separate sky printed in.]
     
   

8. Burton Bros. 5804 Sutherland Falls Milford Sd. N.Z. (`Sutherland Falls') [This is most likely to be a photograph by Frank A. Coxhead. Tell tale signs include the difference between the writing of Burton's number (5804) on the negative and the actual caption which is more like Coxhead's, and the apparent partial erasing of a name under the 'Burton Bros.' signature. If so, and this seems very likely, it suggests that all Burton Bros. negatives from BB5701 to BB5804 were made by FA Coxhead and printed by Burton Bros. (The original Burton Bros. catalogue indicates that negatives BB5804 to BB5833, of the 'South Seas (Henderson)', so it appears that they were adding this run of other photographer's negatives to their catalogue, some time around 1897.]
     
   

9. Burton Bros. 5767 Cuttle Cove Preservation Inlet N.Z. is an earlier version (judging from lichen stripped from the large tree in BB5768), "similarly framed" but taken at a different date and season.]

10. Burton Bros. 5325 Bowen Falls, 340 ft., Milford Sound is actually a Burton Bros. albumen print from a Hart Campbell & Co. wet plate negative. This photograph is from one of over 100 Hart Campbell negatives purchased by Burton Bros. and subsequently published as their own - a fairly common practice in the 19th Century. William P. Hart, a Queenstown photographer, was likely the first to photograph the Sutherland Falls (in 1883).
     
    11. Burton Bros. 5768 Preservation Inlet. ('Preservation Inlet [Upright') [Please note that this might also turn out to be a photograph made by Frank A. Coxhead (or his brother). It is an albumen print made by Burton Bros., and the photograph appears to date from the mid-1880s.
