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
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."

197279440London England: Committee for Freedom in Mozambique Angola and Guine c1972. Presumed First Edition First printing. Pamphlet. Very good. 36 pages plus covers. Topics cover include Six Centuries of Oppression 1373 and all that Britain's first Neo-Colony Imperial Conflict Salazar and the Alliance The Alliance in Modern Dress Closing the Ranks and Alliance in Oppression. The authors assert that Portugal is and has been since 1928 when Salazar et up his "New State" in imitation of Mussolini a fascist state. It is an unpleasant fact that Britain today gives formal support and aid to one of the most repressive regimes in Europe--a regime under which violence and exploitation of the people of Portugal are matched by violence and exploitation of the people of Angola Mozambique and Guine Portugal's extensive African possessions. British support for Portugal symbolized and celebrated in the Anglo-Portuguese Alliance supports the Portuguese efforts to defeat the liberation movement. The UK Committee for Freedom in Mozambique was formed in 1968 at the request of the Mozambique Liberation Front FRELIMO which had launched an armed national liberation struggle against Portuguese colonial rule in 1964. It expanded a year later to cover Angola and Guine-Bissau where armed struggle was also under way renaming itself as the Committee for Freedom in Mozambique Angola and Guine CFMAG. CFMAG operated as a campaigning pressure group aiming to build broad based political support for FRELIMO the People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola MPLA and the African Independence Party of Guine-Bissau and Cape Verde PAIGC. It worked with all political parties the labour and student movements churches NGOs and many others. It had close relations with the Anti-Apartheid Movement and encouraged a regional perspective for the future of Southern Africa. It organised visits by liberation movement representatives and various specific political and material aid campaigns culminating in the End the Alliance Campaign of 1972/3. Following the 25 April coup in Portugal in 1974 and the subsequent negotiations between the new Portuguese government and the liberation movements the right of the colonies to full and immediate independence was acknowledged. CFMAG organised a victory party at St Pancras Town Hall on 25 June 1975 Mozambique's Independence Day and closed down its objectives achieved.
