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."

2016GUINEE020724Genève, Musée Barbier-Mueller, 2016, 21,5 x 27,5, 126 pages cousues sous couverture rempliée illustrée. Iconographie noir & blanc & couleurs. Catalogue publié à l'occasion de l'exposition présentée à Marseille en 2013. "Mémoires religieuses baga propose une réflexion sur la transmission culturelle et ses mécanismes en Afrique. Jadis, les Baga de Guinée-Conakry ont été de talentueux sculpteurs de masques et de puissants ritualistes connus pour leurs sociétés d'initiation masculines. Dimba, un buste féminin colossal en bois, et le masque serpentiforme Bansonyi témoignent, entre autres, de leur histoire religieuse et font aujourd'hui partie des chefs-d'oeuvre de l'art africain. Avec la venue de l'islam et du catholicisme, ces sociétés de Guinée maritime ont été transformées en profondeur, mais elles restent aussi héritières de leur passé. En l'absence d'initiations et de forêts sacrées, de nombreux éléments de l'édifice rituel d'antan ont persisté jusqu'à ce jour. Au fil des pages de cet ouvrage, le lecteur est amené à explorer les usages passés des objets baga, mais aussi ce qui reste aujourd'hui de l'héritage de ces populations littorales."
