Pacific, oude fotografie
NEWTON, G., Picture Paradise Asia-Pacific photographs 1840s-1940s, Canberra 2008. Softcover 22 x 27 cm. 88 pag. met 80 foto's. Exhibition catalogue.
"This is the first exhibition to survey the history of photography of our region – from India and Sri Lanka, Southeast and East Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands to the west coast of North America. It features pioneer local photographers as well as Europeans working in the region. The exhibition reveals the rich heritage and the many outstanding achievements of the first century of photography in the Asia–Pacific region. This significant gathering of over four hundred original photographs and albums includes gem-like daguerreotype portraits, mass-produced views and portraits on paper made possible by the revolutionary wet-plate and dry-plate glass negative-positive process, and prints from the modern era of small format film cameras and photojournalism.Picture Paradise presents works from seventeen public and private collections in Australia, Europe, New Zealand and the United States of America, many never previously loaned or exhibited. The majority of these works are from the National Gallery of Australia’s extensive photography collection and include the rarely seen nearly ten-metre-long Holtermann panorama of Sydney Harbour from 1875."

Tahitian Beauties Lucien Gauthier Photographer 1904-1921
Tahiti, oude fotografie
KAKOU, S. , Tahitian Beauties Lucien Gauthier Photographer 1904-1921, Santa Barbara 2009. Hard Cover 31 x 24 cm. 138 pag.with around 125 photographs.
"The travel narratives of European explorers who discovered Tahiti in the eighteenth century gave birth to the myth of a forgotten Eden. From Bougainville to Gauguin, many adventurous spirits would seek out her shores. In 1904, Lucien Gauthier, enchanted by the island, decided to become a photographer. The collection of images that he would assemble over the next 17 years illustrates the myth of a peaceable paradise. His work, which celebrates the beauty both of Tahitian women and of its verdant landscapes, expresses his personal vision of an ideal world. Today he is recognized as the creator of a photographic icon: the Vahine(a Polynesian woman, esp. of Tahiti).

The invention of Paradise Photographs by P.Miot 1845/70
Pacific, oude fotografie
PICASSO,S, Photographs by Paul-Émile Miot. The invention of Paradise 1845-1870, München 2008. Hard cover 25 x 30 cm. 161 pag. with 55 full-page photo's and panorama's and 20 full-page drawings by C.C.Antique (1845/46) and C.Shipley(1846/48).
CONTENT:
Photographs from the 1869-1870 Polynesian excursion [Tahiti and the Marquesas Islands] of the French Navy Commander, Paul-Émile Miot (1827-1900).
When the French Navy Commander Paul-Émile Miot was sent to Oceania on the Astrée in 1869, he took his camera equipment along, as he had on his previous expeditions including the one to Newfoundland.
The photographs taken on the Polynesian journey and published for the first time in this illustrated volume are unique, not only because they are the first photographic record of the South Sea people.
Miot took extraordinary care with the composition of his views and the staging of his portraits. In his pictures he seems to have wanted to capture a paradise as the Western world of the 19th century liked to imagine it.
