18854504633Sydney: Thomas Richards Government Printer 1885. Slight rubbing to binding in handsome & original condition; interior lightly foxed in places; map with repaired tear; images all bright and crisp. Large square folio with a folding map three coloured lithograph plates 33 original silver albumen photographs 283 x 212 mm mounted on card with printed captions and borders and two superb panoramas one of them double-page 240 x 553 mm and the other on four sheets 242 x 1053 mm; original dark blue grained morocco binding bevelled edges spine banded and sides with multiple borders in gilt front cover lettered in gilt all edges gilded. <p><p>This rare and sumptuous album published in very small numbers and illustrated with actual photographs has been called the first example of Australian photo-journalism: 'the most magnificent example of an Australian work in this genre the high point in relation to which all other examples can be considered' Holden. It is most impressive as an ethnographic album one of the first such produced in the South Pacific. A special copy was delivered to Her Majesty the Queen as "a keen supporter of photography." </p> <p>The photographs all date from the 1884 expedition when Commodore Erskine proclaimed a British protectorate over the south coast of New Guinea. Although unattributed at the time all images were made by the New South Wales Government Printing Office and were chiefly the work of Augustine Dyer 1873-1923. Principally intended as a visual record the album shows the importance of the Hood Lagoon area of Papua New Guinea in British and Australian ambitions with six depictions of the region effectively a sixth of the finished work.</p> <p>The superb series of ethnographic and exploration photographs commemorating the 1884 expedition was printed and the albums assembled in Sydney in a small edition for presentation. Sir James Erskine R.N. 1838-1911 in 1885 was Private Secretary to Lord Northbrook the first Lord of the Admiralty and became Commodore of the Australian Station in January 1882. Erskine leased "Carthona" the grand Gothic-revival house built on Darling Point in 1841 for the explorer Sir Thomas Mitchell. In the 1880s it was owned by the solicitor Arthur Mansfield Allen but he was offering it to be let fully furnished in June 1884 and Erskine is known to have been resident there soon after.</p> <p>It is a piece of photo-reportage unmatched by any other work of this time and place. Through the positioning of images of the official ceremonies alongside topographical views of the surrounding areas the photographs themselves become a true part of the narrative: the first photographic images of the meeting between Imperial forces and Hood Bay chiefs. One of the remarkable images is a scene on board HMS Nelson as Erskine addressed some of the assembled tribal elders 'Commodore addressing Chiefs on board HMS Nelson Hood Bay' one seen grasping an ebony staff. Erskine had handed out a number of the staffs to local chiefs as "an emblem of authority in the form of an ebony stick with a florin let in at the top the Queen's Head being uppermost and encircled by a band of silver" Lyne New Guinea pp. 13 114-118.</p> <p>The motivation for the Australian Squadron's to New Guinea expedition under Erskine's command was imperialistic: "The Imperial Government. decided to take steps to establish a Protectorate over that part of the southern shores of new Guinea to the east of the territory claimed by the Netherlands with the double object of preventing any foreign occupation of the country and of protecting the inhabitants from aggression.". This declaration of the expedition's objective belies the tone of much of Erskine's Narrative which reads more like a travelogue than an official account. "Picturesque" is the most often used descriptive term along with such passages as "the striking variety and beauty of the colour in the adjacent water were enchanting and struck the beholder with wonder and admiration." Similarly Erskine's own speech considered for many years as a "Declaration of Rights" for New Guinea contrasts strongly with the text of the Proclamation itself. The latter is couched in formal imperial language whereas the former looks ahead in more open terms to the real benefits that the tribesmen might expect and is very specific regarding the protection offered by Her Majesty Queen Victoria: "look upon white persons whom the Queen permits to reside amongst you as your friends .". </p> <p>A full list of the images can be seen at hordern.com.</p> <p>The photographs are: 1 "Port Moresby from the Mission Station."

Incisione in rame (mm. 525x630), abilmente dipinta da mano coeva, verso velato da finissimo foglio di carta Giappone. Bella e rara carta nautica, tratta dal celebre atlante di De Witt ''Orbis Maritimus ofte Zee Atlas": la mappa si estende dal Senegal a nord fino all'Angola a sud, centrata sulla Baia di Guinea. Le indicazioni toponimiche e le caratteristiche geografiche sono strettamente limitate alle coste. Rosa dei venti, linee lossodromiche e splendido cartiglio, in alto, dove commercianti olandesi contrattano per gli schiavi ammanettati con i capi indigeni. Sullo sfondo si può vedere una fornace che fonde quello che presumibilmente è oro. L'abile rinforzo con carta Giappone evita il deperimento da acidità ai verdi e marroni; quindi l'esemplare si presenta in ottimo stato, anche grazie alla splendida coloritura del cartiglio. "Frederick de Wit deve essere considerato uno dei più importanti editori di mappe della seconda metà del XVII secolo. La maggior parte delle sue mappe sono di ottima qualità, sono caratterizzate da un'incisione chiara e bella, dall'attualità e ricchezza dell'immagine cartografica nonché dall'equilibrio delle decorazioni cartografiche".

161918935Frankfurt: Blaeu 1619. Scarce copper engraved map of the northwest coastline of New Guinea and Moluccas showing the track of the Dutch explorers Le Maire and Schouten in 1616 in the ships Eendracht and Hoorn. The two explorers made the third complete circumnavigation and were the first to round Cape Horn from the east a more efficient way to get to the East Indies and thus a significant threat to the monopoly held by the Dutch East India Company. The expedition was headed for Batavia which it reached in October of 1616. The Dutch governor there obliged them by confiscating their cargo and sending them back to Holland but Schouten published his journals and now the word on the Drake Passage was out. With title cartouche in Dutch Latin and French. With two compass rose and sailing ship. From Schouten's account of his and Le Maire's first rounding of Cape Horn. Slightly toned otherwise very good condition. Blaeu unknown

1936230101936. Neuendettelsau Mission publisher. Bilder aus der Neuguinea Mission late 1920s-mid 1930s documents German Protestant missionary activity and Indigenous life in New Guinea during the interwar period following the end of formal German colonial rule. Produced as a cigarette card album with printed German captions the work records village life subsistence practices missionary institutions and ceremonial activity situating Indigenous communities within a visual framework shaped by religious and colonial perspectives. The album supports research into Pacific history missionary networks and the role of photography in documenting and interpreting Indigenous societies under colonial influence.<br /> <br /> Oblong album containing a substantial series of mounted photographic cigarette cards on captioned leaves with printed German text throughout. The cover title reads "Bilder aus der Neuguinea-Mission" and includes a commemorative image captioned "Gedenkt des 50 jährigen Jubiläums der Neuendettelsauer Mission auf Neuguinea!" depicting three Indigenous men in traditional dress with spears. The album includes numerous images of daily life in coastal New Guinea including fishing hunting boat building village environments and ceremonial gatherings with captions such as "Mit Pfeil und Bogen" and "Mit dem Jagenetz" describing subsistence practices. Additional images depict mission infrastructure including churches schools workshops and settlements alongside scenes of education labor and communal activity. Photographs are systematically arranged and mounted presenting both ethnographic subjects and missionary-built environments within a unified visual sequence.<br /> <br /> The album was produced during a transitional period when German missionary societies continued operations in New Guinea under Australian administration after World War I maintaining institutional presence despite the loss of formal colonial control. The Neuendettelsau Mission founded in Bavaria in the nineteenth century had established networks of religious and educational institutions in the region contributing to broader systems of cultural transformation and documentation. The images reflect both local practices and the interpretive framework imposed by missionary observers revealing how photography functioned within colonial and religious contexts to classify record and disseminate knowledge about Indigenous populations. Mild toning foxing and edge wear to covers and pages; cards remain securely mounted with images largely clean and crisp; overall very good condition. This album provides sustained visual documentation of missionary activity and Indigenous life in New Guinea during the interwar period. unknown
1940230081940. Photographs of Indigenous communities in New Guinea during World War II document direct encounters between local populations and United States military personnel as Allied forces established operational infrastructure across the island beginning in 1942. Taken in the early to mid 1940s these images record the presence of Indigenous men women and children alongside uniformed servicemen situating them within a major Pacific theater of war where military expansion reshaped local environments and social conditions. The archive supports research into Indigenous history wartime contact zones and the impact of global conflict on colonial territories.<br /> <br /> Archive consists of 26 original black and white photographic prints likely silver gelatin depicting group portraits staged encounters and environmental views in New Guinea. Multiple images show Indigenous individuals arranged in lines or clusters often positioned with U.S. servicemen standing behind or among them indicating organized or facilitated photographic documentation. Dress and adornment vary with women wearing traditional skirts and beadwork and men and children appearing in customary attire. Several photographs include visible military infrastructure including aircraft fuselages transport planes and trucks suggesting proximity to airstrips supply depots or forward bases. A group of images captures a ceremonial dance or ritual with participants wearing elaborate headdresses and woven garments photographed in mid action.<br /> <br /> These photographs were produced during a period when New Guinea became a strategic center of Allied military operations in the Pacific bringing new systems of transportation labor demands and administrative control into Indigenous regions. Wartime conditions altered patterns of daily life through the introduction of foreign personnel the construction of military facilities and the expansion of colonial oversight. Visual documentation of these encounters reflects both the logistical realities of military presence and the asymmetrical relationships between Indigenous communities and external authority. Minor handling wear and edge wear with occasional fading; overall very good condition. This archive provides primary visual documentation of wartime contact between Indigenous populations and Allied forces in New Guinea during World War II. unknown

334 pages including index. "The thrust of this challenging book is that America is the first society to move beyond the industrial age into the new "technetronic" era, and that this transition affects directly both our international and our domestic problems. Part 1 describes the impact of the scientific revolution on world affairs in general and on the Third World in particular, and exposes the ambiguous position of its principal disseminators, the US. Part 2 examines how this has effected the content, style, and format of man's political outlook on his global reality. Part 3 assesses the contemporary relevance of communism to the problems of modernity. Part 4 focuses upon the US, a society that is both a social pioneer and a guinea pig for mankind, and examines the crisis of American institutions and values during the current transition - as well as the challenge posed by the New Left. Part 5 outlines in broad terms the general direction the US might take in order to make an effective response to its foreign and domestic dilemmas." - from dust jacket (not included). "This is one of the most original books on political and social thought to appear in recent years. The author projects the impact of technology and electronics on the political and social values of the United States, the Soviet Union and other 'post-industrial' states. As a study of global society in transition, this seminal work is bound to elicit major controversy and will be difficult to ignore." - Foreign Affairs.
