Hugo A. Bernatzik travelled for over a year, between 1932 and 1933, to the Solomon Islands, New Guinea and Bali. His lively and fascinating account of the trip and his observations on myths, customs and traditions of the people he encountered were published as a book: Südsee: Travels in the South Seas, soon after translated into English (1935).

A large and careful selection of the best photographs, reproduced here in duotone and in large format, has been made for South Pacific . Bernatzik's images are always informative.The photographs depict fascinating actions such as the turtle hunt in the Solomon Islands reef or seafaring on an oroum, a Papuan double canoe. Everyday life in villages and the habits proper to each particular group come to life in the photographs. Finally, a series of portraits gives us an idea of the adornments worn by the people of the South Seas.

In 1959 nam professor Anceaux, een bekend Nederlands taalkundige, deel aan de laatste Nederlandse expeditie naar het binneland van Nieuw-Guinea. Anceaux gaf zijn bril aan een Papoea. Expeditieleider Brongerma maakte daar een foto van. Deze foto op de omslag van dit boek, kan opgevat worden als een symbool voor de westerse blik op andere culturen, maar ook hoe die anderen soms geamuseerd toekeken. Vanaf het vroegste begin van de fotografie heeft het Rijksmuseum voor Volkenkunde te Leiden foto's van mensen en culturen uit de hele wereld verzameld. Ze zijn lang verborgen gebleven in de archieven. In dit boek is nu eindelijk een brede selectie uit de verzameling te zien.

Volume 2 Rijksmuseum Studies in Photography

In the 19th century photography recorded the non-western cultures. In 1883 a colonial exhibition was organised in Amsterdam, devoted to indigenous peoples and their crops, produce and trades. In this book Laetitia Dujardin explains the backgrounds of this exhibition (and similar exhibitions in Belgium), the views on and attitudes towards non-western cultures and the role of photography in colonial politics.

CONTENT:

In 1905, the Tilburg Missionaries of the Sacred Heart established their first mission post among the Marind Amin on the southwest coast of New Guinea. They were to be the last direct witnesses of an ancient cultural tradition about to perish. They recorded the tribe's complex cosmology, initiation rites, art, and headhunting practices, both in writing and through photographs. Bewilderment and fascination, burnings and research punctuated relations between the priests and the indigenous population. Raymond Corbey has been granted permission to publish for the first time a group of remarkable photographs taken from the archives of the Tilburg mission. These, along with fifteen photographs from the archives of anthropologist Paul Wirz, who visited the Marind Amin twice, provide a detailed look at the period from 1905 to 1925 during which contact occurred.
