1885réf. 4504633Sydney: 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. This rare and sumptuous album published in very small numbers and illustrated with original photographs has been described as 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 equally significant as one of the earliest ethnographic photographic albums produced in the South Pacific. The photographs record the 1884 expedition during which Commodore Sir James Erskine proclaimed a British protectorate over the south coast of New Guinea. Although unpublished at the time they were produced by the New South Wales Government Printing Office and were principally the work of Augustine Dyer 1873-1923. Intended as a visual record of the expedition they also reveal the strategic importance attached to the Hood Lagoon region represented by six photographs together forming almost one-sixth of the completed album. Printed and assembled in Sydney in a small presentation edition the album is remarkable in treating photographs not simply as illustrations but as the narrative itself. Official ceremonies are interwoven with topographical views and portraits producing a visual account of first contact between Imperial officers and local communities. Particularly striking is the photograph of Erskine addressing assembled chiefs aboard HMS Nelson one of whom holds an ebony staff distributed by Erskine as an emblem of authority "with a florin let in at the top the Queen's Head being uppermost" Lyne. Although produced to commemorate the proclamation of the British Protectorate the album is equally important as an early ethnographic record of coastal Papua New Guinea. Despite its official purpose its photographs frequently possess an immediacy and humanity uncommon in imperial publications of the period. A complete list of the photographs appears on the Hordern House website. Sir James Erskine R.N. 1838-1911 then Commodore of the Australian Station had assumed command in January 1882. While in Sydney he leased Carthona the grand Gothic Revival house at Darling Point built for the explorer Sir Thomas Mitchell. During the expedition he commanded the Australian Squadron charged with proclaiming British authority over the south coast of New Guinea. The motivation for the expedition was explicitly imperial. As Erskine explained the Imperial Government had resolved to establish a protectorate over the unclaimed southern coast of New Guinea "with the double object of preventing any foreign occupation of the country and of protecting the inhabitants from aggression.". Yet the tone of his published Narrative frequently departs from official language reading more as a travel account than a governmental report. "Picturesque" is among his favourite descriptions while passages celebrating "the striking variety and beauty of the colour in the adjacent water" reveal genuine admiration for the landscape. The same contrast appears in Erskine's address to the assembled chiefs long regarded as a "Declaration of Rights" for New Guinea. Whereas the formal Proclamation speaks in the language of imperial administration Erskine's speech looks instead to the practical benefits of British protection urging the assembled people to "look upon white persons whom the Queen permits to reside amongst you as your friends.". The album's photographs reinforce this more nuanced narrative. Images of proclamation ceremonies are balanced by landscapes villages and portraits creating what is arguably the earliest sustained photographic reportage produced in Australia. Particularly memorable is the scene aboard HMS Nelson showing Erskine addressing the Hood Bay chiefs one grasping the ebony staff symbolising his authority. The photographs comprise: 1 "Port Moresby from the Mission Station." Four-sheet panorama. 2 "H.M.S. 'Nelson' at Port Moresby S.W." 3 "General View of Settlement at Port Moresby N.N.E." 4 "Commodore shaking hands with Native Chief 'OBE Vagi' on board H.M.S.

1619réf. 18935Frankfurt: Blaeu 1619. Scarce copper engraved map of the northwest coastline of New Guinea and Moluccas showing the track of the Dutch explorers Le Maire and Schouten in 1616 in the ships Eendracht and Hoorn. The two explorers made the third complete circumnavigation and were the first to round Cape Horn from the east a more efficient way to get to the East Indies and thus a significant threat to the monopoly held by the Dutch East India Company. 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. With title cartouche in Dutch Latin and French. With two compass rose and sailing ship. From Schouten's account of his and Le Maire's first rounding of Cape Horn. Slightly toned otherwise very good condition. Blaeu unknown

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".

réf. 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. 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
réf. 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.
