Johns, Thomas Collection

The two photograph albums in the Johns Collection were owned by Thomas Joseph Rowett Johns (1882-1947), who served in the Chinese Maritime Customs Service from 1903 to 1937. It is likely that Johns took many of the photographs in this collection, where he served on its fleet of revenue cruisers. 99 images, of Dairen, Chefoo and Shanghai especially. HPC refs: Jo01, Jo02, and Jo-s.
