008772Hardcover. Very Good Minus/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. This is a photo album consisting of 13 duotone archival photographs of girls and women of Whakarewarewa and vicinity. 12 photos are approx. 9 1/8 x 7 ¼ inches 23x18 cm. 1 photo is 5 3/8 x 3 ½ inches 13.5x9 cm. Each photo has a neatly printed title or description; else no text in the album. All 12 large plates are tipped in not laid down. No tears or staining observed; the last four plates have diagonal creasing to the lower left corners. Photos mounted on heavy-weight brown paper. The oblong album is approx. 9.25 x 12 inches. Bound in semi-flexible hardboards of marbled paper with black buckram spine and corners. Patterned pastedowns/FEPs with a small repeat design typical of papers from the turn of the 20th century. Good Plus condition overall with photos generally in Very Good condition. 1 lb. 1 oz. weight. Undated photographs probably circa 1900-1920 possibly earlier. Photo captions as follows: "Mairie" the Arawa beauty; a Whakarewarewa beauty; a tribal belle; "poi" dancer Whakarewarewa; Maori girls; Onehe ra! departed days; Kapai te torori; a pretty Maori; Maori woman weaving taniko; Maori woman twisting flax; Te hongi rubbing noses; Maori women; and in reduced format Te hongi rubbing noses. When viewed under magnification the elderly women pictured have chin moko i.e. tattoos. The girls and young women do not. Early photographs of the women of Whakarewarewa including those who acted as tour guides are known to have been taken no later than the 1880s and probably earlier. European missionaries and traders arrived in Rotorua in the 1830s and soon local Maori began to turn the inquisitiveness of the visitors to advantage by showing them the geothermal environment. Persons acting as paid guides were deemed essential. Traditionally it was the women of Tuhourangi and of Ngati Wahiao who acted as guides at Whakarewarewa. Maori women rather than men were more appealing to tourists. Guiding was also compatible with the traditional puhi and kaitiaki role of Maori women. They grasped the opportunity to sustain themselves and their families by doing work they enjoyed. Unfortunately Whakarewarewa The Living Maori Village purporting to offer Maori cultural dance performances and traditional feasts has become a sort of Disneyland experience for tourists. <br/> <br/> hardcover

Danziger Gallery in NYC had an exhibition of the photographs featured in this book September 13 to October 20 2018. Christopher Anderson's photographs portray a contemporary China in the midst of perpetual reinvention. The images are tightly cropped and extremely close up bringing the viewer to an intimate distance where all context is removed except for the ambient artificial light that illuminates the faces giving only the sensual information of the physical form allowing the viewer the indiscreet pleasure of staring at another human face and wondering who the individual might be or what they might be thinking about at the moment of the photograph. A somewhat vapid statement by the photographer is as follows: "I have seen the future and it is now and it is China. There is no need for the past. It can be erased. A new happiness is being constructed an approximation of joy better than the real thing." Christopher Anderson is a member of Magnum Photos. He first gained recognition in 1999 when his poignant images of the rescue of Haitian refugees taken onboard a sinking wooden boat named the "Believe in God" won him the Robert Capa Gold Medal. <br/> <br/> STANLEY/BARKER hardcover

From the DJ: "Wilfred Thesiger came to Arabia in 1945 when the head of the Locust Control for the Middle East asked him to survey and collect information on locust movements in the mysterious Empty Quarter of the Arabian desert. First traveling by camel inland through the coastal mountains Thesiger then carried out a long journey of exploration westward along the southern edge of the great desert. By dressing eating almost thinking like a native Thesiger came as close to living the life of a Bedu Arab as a Westerner ever will. His descriptions of the fantastic privations they endure without complaint of their strange customs of their innate loyalty and generosity as well as their fierce fighting form a magnificent picture of these little-known people and provide invaluable reference and source material." By the time this book was published oil-field development had already changed the lives of the Bedu beyond recognition. Shipping weight 3 lbs. First US Edition. . VG/G. 23 X 15½ cm. E. P.
