Marine and portrait photography studio, established at 97 High Street in Gosport, England in the 1850s by George West and
his son, George Edmund James West. Many of the West children were involved in the photography business, which in 1885 relocated
to Southsea, England. Another son, Alfred John West, was a celebrated marine photographer, active from the 1880s to 1900,
as well as a film pioneer, whose films, "Our Navy," some of the earliest in Great Britain, were shown to Queen Victoria in
1898, and to King Edward VII in 1901
The album includes photographs of the royal yacht, "Victoria and Albert," as well as foreign men-of-war from Austria, Germany,
Italy, Spain, USA, Russia, France, and Netherlands; battleships, mercantile cruisers, despatch boats, and destroyers, assembled
off the south coast of England near the naval base at Portsmouth.
