Hi, it's a tricky problem with "aboutness"
Topic: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q200801 Matter: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q26256810 Topic of a work: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q27891660 Subject: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q12310021
Perhaps P921 (main topic) is suitable for the collection level, and P180 (depict) in each of the photographs that represent or describe real places, for the item level.

Hello Wiki-GLAM community,
A small group at Western Libraries is working to pilot a bulk upload of archival images to Wikimedia and associated Wikidata. We are wondering what property would be better suited to describe the Fond and Series level descriptions we are creating in Wikidata - Main Subject (P921) or Depicts (P180). Here is an example of a series description using main subject https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q109363562
Any thoughts?
