Book Description
Excerpt from Forty Years' Mission Work in Polynesia and New Guinea: From 1835 to 1875 The writer of the following pages has, for a length of time, employed such intervals of leisure as he could command from official and other necessary duties in placing on record the leading events of his missionary life, in the hope that their publication may, by the Divine blessing, contribute something towards advancing the interests of the great cause of Christian Missions. Whether, and to what extent, they are likely to t.i answer that end, others will be better able to judge than himself; and perhaps it hardly becomes him to express any opinion as to the ends the book is likely to answer. He ventures, however, to express a hope - First, That these records will, to some extent, interest and encourage the friends and supporters of Christian Missions, and probably stimulate some to increased liberality in contributing towards their support. Second, The writer further hopes that young disciples who are desirous of giving themselves to Missionary work will be interested and encouraged by what is here recorded, and that Missionary Students and young Missionaries will also find the work interesting and useful.

Not illustrated. 1876 edition. Excerpt: ...horizon, we were on the eve of a change of which none of us had dreamt, which disarranged our plans, and brought a dark and portentous cloud over the great undertaking which we had been regarding with such joyous and hopeful anticipations. A united meeting of the churches of both districts was to be held at Tafuna, a central village, on Wednesday the 10th of March, at which Mr Bullen was to preach, and which was to be of a valedictory character, as it was uncertain how soon the "John Williams" would arrive. On Monday, I received a note from Mr Geddie stating that Mr Bullen was not well, and that he would not be able to preach as had been arranged, though he hoped to be present at the service. On the day appointed, I went with the people of our district to' the place of meeting, where I was met by our brother Geddie alone. Mr Bullen's illness had greatly increased, and the symptoms were those of acute rheumatism, brought on by fatigue and exposure. He had been weakened by the hard work in which he and Mr Geddie had been engaged--work to which his strength was not equal, and to which he was quite unaccustomed. While thus weakened, he had gone in company with Mr Geddie to pay a farewell visit to Aoloau, a village on the opposite side of the island. They had a long and very fatiguing walk. It is a most laborious walk even for a person hale and strong. The road is very steep on both sides, and when the mountain ridge is reached in the centre of the island, the traveller is bathed in perspiration, and perhaps drenched with rain as well. Such, I think, was the case with our friends on the fatal day 248 PROGRESS OF THE DISEASE. of their journey, and a fresh breeze generally blows from the one side or the other, and the temptation of...

Photographing Papua

Book Description
Photographing Papua is a study of photography in the public domain in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It argues that southeastern New Guinea, known as British New Guinea and then as Papua when it became an Australian colony, was created as a geographical place through visual representation in illustrated magazines and newspapers, lavishly illustrated travelogues and mission hagiography, serial encyclopedia, lantern slides and postcards. Readers :knew" Papua because many thousands of black and white photographs of Papuans, villages and material culture rapidly swamped the reading public once the process of halftone, newsprint reproduction became possible. In an innovative and breakthrough fashion Photographing Papua switches attention from a few well known prints in museums and archives, in some cases repeatedly reproduced, but mostly rarely seen outside of scientific and scholarly circles. It deals instead with thousands of photographs, often used in ways not intended when the photograph was taken, but which editors and publishers (and subsequent photographers) gradually made conform to an iconographic imperative, a sort of abbreviated visual gallery of "natives" and a quick-access pathway to the actual and imagined lives of Papuans in the "last Unknown" as New Guinea was titled. It is a study of representation, colonialism, cross-cultural encounters and the early world of illustrated media and photo-journalism.
