This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition.

Mr. Woodford was recognized for his extensive study of the Polynesians and Malenesians. He provides intricate details on the tattooing procedure and nostril piercing for men, on the construction of canoes which were beginning to be replaced by European boats and half-decked cutters, and on the tools and weapons used.

This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. Woodford describes the brutal tomahawk attacks overtaking ships on the coast of Malayta, head-hunting, captivity and cannibal practices. Imagine his shock as in his travels he came across piles of skulls and even recognized some of the heads proudly displayed in homes! He also describes his visits to various islands including the Hebrides, and on the so-called recruiting practices of the "South Sea Island Labour Trade". This is a fascinating expedition account which includes also descriptions of his 3 separate unsuccessful attempts to reach the island's interior, each time met by hostile mountain tribes! A vivid first-hand account saturated with violence and cultural wonder.

8vo. 4 pages, plus a folding colour map which measures 11.5 inches x 8 inches and shows details of Winnecke's survey work in Central Australia from August to December 1883. This is a complete issue of the Royal Geographical Society, published October 1884, in excellent condition, containing the above narrative, and historically valuable map. Item is in original condition, with blue wrappers, as issued, complete with all the ads. A succinct and informative account accompanies the map, revealing that this territory, near the western Queensland boundary, was previously unknown, indicated only as a vast blank space on maps. Winnecke quickly found the task of exploring and surveying the region was most onerous, yet persevered to success - the map here being the first of the area. The text makes specific reference to notes in Winnecke's diary, in one instance being forced to dig a deep well, due to the extreme scarcity of water for the camels. As well as charting the land, Winnecke names peaks, collects plenty of flora, and observes fauna. Still in the midst of exploring while this account was published, Surveyor-General G. W. Goyder of the Australia colony submits the paper for dispatching, thus published here.
