Last updated: 27 March 2008

Dr Rees took many photographs of his own family, providing rich documentary evidence of domestic life abroad in the first half of this century. Here he captures Christmas in 1923. His own caption for the picture reads:

"Morfudd & Ceredig among the toys brought by Santa Claus."


Pictures appear courtesy of Dr Rees' daughter Morfudd Rees Clarke.
