Rabaul in red pencil bound into a green pebbled cloth Penfold's springback letter file slightly scuffed edges of the typescript a little ragged but in very good condition. Translation from the German of Richard Parkinson's scarce work on the Bismarck Archipelago first published in 1907. This recently discovered typescript by translator and Rabaul resident Noel C. Barry is based on the second edition published in 1926. Barry began work on his translation in the 1920s after returning from service in WWI and completed it in the 1940s before War again intervened. The scholarly edition by John Dennison and J. Peter White of Parkinson's original work published in 1997 and online in 2010 by Sydney University made note of Barry's work observing "For many people this Barry translation became the sole avenue into Parkinson’s book." This copy with an early New Guinea provenance is from the collection of R. L. Pulsford a colleague of Noel Barry's at the Department of Agriculture Stock and Fisheries Rabaul has the errors in transcription mentioned in the Sydney University edition and as such is a valuable insight into the publishing history of a foundation work on the Pacific. . hardcover

1930ref. 194905Société d'Editions Géographiques, Maritimes et Coloniales Paris Société d'Editions Géographiques, Maritimes et Coloniales, 1930. Petit In-folio relié demi-percaline grise, plats de papier marbré, couverture illustrée conservée, 350 pages. 486 figures en 114 planches hors-texte reproduisant 486 figures (sculptures, masques, boucliers, pirogues, amulettes). Monographie pionnière et fondamentale sur l'art océanien, rédigée par le médecin, collectionneur et ethnologue français Stéphen Chauvet (1885-1950). Bien complet de la grande carte dépliante de la Nouvelle Guinée. Cet ouvrage demeure l'un des premiers grands traités systématiques en langue française consacrés aux arts plastiques de la Nouvelle-Guinée. Analyse comparative rigoureuse des styles régionaux (Fleuve Sepik, Golfe de Papouasie, Massim, Baie de Geelvink, Nouvelle-Irlande). L'abondante illustration rassemble les plus belles pièces des collections publiques et privées européennes des années 1920 (notamment la collection personnelle de Chauvet). Publié la veille de la fameuse Exposition Coloniale Internationale de 1931, cet ouvrage a joué un rôle déterminant dans la reconnaissance des arts dits « primitifs » auprès des avant-gardes artistiques et des collectionneurs (Surréalistes, Paul Guillaume, Charles Ratton). Très rare exemplaire de cette monumentale étude, ici en édition originale, et à ce jour jamais égalée. On ne peut que signaler de petits défauts à la percaline sans gravité, et quelques feuillets se détachant ; l'intérieur est en bon état.
