1910230071910. New Guinea photo archive group of 22 photographs dating to the early twentieth century documenting Indigenous communities and the colonial environments imposed around them. The material captures village life family groups communal activity and built spaces associated with missionary and administrative expansion providing direct visual evidence of how Indigenous people in New Guinea were photographed during a period of accelerating colonial intervention. These images are historically significant for the study of Indigenous life under colonial rule especially where domestic ceremonial and communal scenes appear alongside roads chapels and other introduced structures.<br /> <br /> Twenty-two black-and-white photographs including real photo postcards and original prints depicting Indigenous men women and children in both portrait and wider landscape formats. The archive includes captioned views such as "Native Huts New Guinea" "A Chapel in New Guinea" "One of Many New Guinea Highways" and "A Native Family of New Guinea." Several images focus on Indigenous dwellings family groupings and village settings while others show larger gatherings outdoor performances or dances communal scenes domestic labor and construction activity. A second grouping centers on colonial-built environments including palm-lined roads formal structures mission buildings and organized settlements. Closer portraits emphasize bodily presentation hairstyle adornment posture and dress while broader views show the spatial relationship between Indigenous communities and the altered colonial landscape. Sizes vary with the group consisting of postcard-format and similarly sized original photographs.<br /> <br /> Produced during a period of intensified missionary presence road building and colonial administration in New Guinea these photographs document the coexistence of Indigenous continuity and imposed colonial systems. The images show how photography was used to record classify and circulate views of Indigenous people and colonial development while also preserving visual evidence of community structure and daily life under conditions of outside control. The archive supports research into Indigenous history colonial visual culture missionary activity and the transformation of built and social environments in the Pacific. Minor handling wear and light edge wear; overall very good condition. A cohesive visual record of Indigenous life and colonial transformation in early twentieth-century New Guinea. unknown

140780Very Good. Original gelatin silver photographs 33 postcard-format approximately 88 × 145 mm or the reverse and three smaller prints that overlap to form a panoramic view of Block 10 Gold Mine on Misima Island 127 × 190 mm. The majority have inscriptions on the verso see below; 11 have identifying captions six have routine messages to family members. Only a handful appear to be commercially-produced postcards. Undated but probably 1920s. Minimal signs of age and use; overall in excellent condition. The majority of the photographs form a near-complete series bearing a manuscript number and the initials 'W.D.W' in ink on the verso. There are 30 items numbered 2-13 15-24 26-29 32 and 34-36. We have established the initials are those of W.D. Wilson a builder and contractor and that he lived in suburban Adelaide at Largs Bay in the 1920s and Semaphore in the 1930s. The messages are to four of his children Rita Florrie Merle and an unidentified boy: curiously some of the names are scratched out of these messages; these tend to be on photographs taken in Rabaul. <p>The subject matter and captions of some of the photographs suggest he may have been working on the island possibly at Block 10 Misima Gold Mine at Umuna. The three-panel panorama and two other photographs feature the mine site with its 'crushing mills cyaniding vats sawmill black-smiths' and carpenters' shops electric lighting staff accommodation . and . tramway' Hank Nelson: 'Black White and Gold: Goldmining in Papua New Guinea 1878-1930' ANU Press 2016 now available online. Chapter 3 'Misima: warlike and civilised' is most informative. Other captions relating to Misima Island include 'Three Awaikivas Orokaivas'; 'Native hut Lappapai'; 'Ocean going Canoe with outrigger. Lappapai'; 'Shell hunting on the Coral. Lappapai'; and 'Bwagoia' one of the main villages. 36 items. unknown
