1923rif. 233431923. Very good condition. Original publicity photograph by James Francis Frank Hurley 1885-1962 the Australian photographer filmmaker and writer known for his Antarctic photographs including the destruction of Ernest Shackleton's ship 'Endurance'. Hurley undertook two long expeditions to the Torres Strait and New Guinea between 1920 and 1923. From this he developed a successful anthropological film 'Pearls and Savages' and the book by the same title. He documented the people their rites houses villages artifacts and mountain scenes. Although reviews in Australia were strong one critic called it "probably the most beautifully photographed pictorial of the kind that has ever been screened" the film release in America resulted in a financial loss for Hurley retitled "The Lost Tribe".

rif. 202912 page TLS describing in great detail the difficulties in setting up a mining operation in New Guinea. The author H. Edward Clayton is attempting to set up an aerial tramway to transport the ore. It is 3 1/2 miles long and passes over very rough country - the difficulty in hauling the cable is palpable. Clearly having been engaged in mining in other parts of the world before he speaks of Papua NG as "the worst country I've struck in getting anything started up" with no facilities the necessity of setting up your own company mess where as in the past "anywhere else a bording sic house keeper will light along and start up a show even if it does a bit of sly grog as well". He blames the "Navigation Act" which he calls "a curse on this country". "We have Dutch and Japanese boats passing within a hundred miles and the only ones allowed to call here are the little island boats of B.P's; the work is too much for them and the result is high fares and feights sic and infrequent service." Several other people are mentioned. There is a reference to "Bill Horsburgh" who is the assayer on this mine married with three children one of them was hospitalized for rheumatic fever in Port Moresby. "Bill has changed a good deal- as quiet as can be until he has a few in and the crust cracks." This could be a reference to William Horsburgh born in Queensland and married to Frances Stella Clayton. W.W. Horsburgh was an assayer and worked with the Dubuna and Laloki Mines of the New Guinea Copper Mines until at least 1927. It's possible that the author of the letter is related in some way to Horsburgh's wife. Clayton also asks after a George Osborne. We presume that the Laloki Mine is part of the Astrolabe mineral field near Port Moresby a massive copper mine that ran from 1907 to 1926 at the Laloki and Dubuna Mines and transported by light rail and aerial ropeway to a smelter near the Tahira Inlet wharf.

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.

2009ill., br. Nella pianura della Papua Nuova Guinea, presso il vulcano del Bosavi, vivono i kaluli. Con Edward e Bambi Schieffelin, una coppia di antropologi, Steven Feld si è immerso nel 1976 nella vita della foresta e ha condiviso con il popolo del Bosavi i riti e il lavoro, i miti e i loro canti. Soprattutto ha scoperto che la musica dei kaluli, quella che da vita al loro mondo immaginario, rielabora i flussi sonori della natura e le modulazioni del canto degli uccelli: questi non sono versi, ma voci nella foresta. "Suono e sentimento" è il frutto di una ricerca sul campo, approfondita nell'arco di venticinque anni; un trattato di etnomusicologia incentrato sul suono come sistema culturale e simbolico. Lo studio dei metodi di comunicazione sonora, del suono umano e della natura (dai canti dell'uomo ai versi degli uccelli) è il punto di partenza dal quale Feld elabora la comprensione dell'epos sociale ed emozionale del popolo kaluli, di tutto ciò che può essere definito il suo sentimento. Analizzando la forma e le esecuzioni del lamento e del canto in relazione al mito di origine, questo libro mostra come le espressioni sonore siano incarnazioni di sentimenti profondi.
