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
