Other papers:
Two black and white photographs. One photo shows a pair of Wellington boots outside a room with a fireplace identified on the verso as 'Lary's fireplace' in Tinbergen's house 'High Slakes' in Cumbria. The other phot is of a rabbit in the grass with an unidentified woman crouching near it, partially out of shot. It is labelled 'one of our rabbits - 1974'. These seem to relate to correspondence in this file about the reorganisation of the Tinbergen's house.
