A few GREAT replies ... one said ...

Could it be Zanzibar?

That's a great guess  but I don't think the city at Zanzibar was on a
bluff like the one round pic. - Please argue with me if you disagree ...

Also Louise Ratliff says ...

  The Fort looks like Fort Charlotte in Lucea, Jamaica. Can anyone else
confirm this?


Or perhaps the one in San Juan, Puerto Rico?


I see a modern image of San Juan Bay, El Morro Fort (Castillo San Felipe
del Morro) Puerto Rico that could be close ...

*Subject:* Help Identifying Round Photographs - geographic features

Hi all!

Can you help us identify where these photos are from?

https://www.flickr.com/photos/agslibrary/sets/72157643747255184/

There are 45 photos all together. Here are some specific photos with
identifiable features:

A castle or fort:

City on coast:

These are round pictures - scanned from the negatives. Kodak produced
these (we believe) in the late 1880's and they weren't long lived so
we're assuming the photos are from that period. Any help you can give is
greatly appreciated as we attempt to identify location and eventually
photographer (which of our collections this came from).

Comment at flickr or shoot me an email [log in to unmask]
<mailto:[log in to unmask]> . No comment is too obvious - any help you can
give is great!

Thanks!

-Angie
