Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Port Moresby, Gordon and Gotch (P.N.G.) Pty. Ltd. in association with the National Cultural Council of Papua New Guinea, 1980 (facsimile edition)/ 1887. Quarto, [iv], xviii, 194 pages plus 50 plates, each with a captioned guard. Synthetic leather lightly bumped at the ends of the spine; top edge gilt; endpapers a little unevenly tanned; an excellent copy. This edition was produced 'to commemorate the event of Papua New Guinea hosting the 1980 South Pacific Festival of Arts'. John William Lindt (1845-1926) was born at Frankfurt on Main, Germany . At 17 he ran away to sea and joined a Dutch sailing ship. He deserted at Brisbane; by 1863 he was at Grafton as a piano-tuner and then worked in a photographic studio. He visited Germany in 1867 and on his return bought the business. Using the wet-plate process he photographed the Clarence River district and its Aboriginal traditional owners, producing albums in 1875 and 1876. He then sold out and went to Melbourne where he opened a studio in Collins Street. He soon won repute for his society, theatre and landscape photographs. In 1885 Lindt went with Sir Peter Scratchley's expedition to the Protectorate of British New Guinea as official photographer. He presented an album of his New Guinea photographs to the Indian and Colonial Exhibition in London in 1886. He went to Europe to publish his "Picturesque New Guinea" (London, 1887), to visit the optical institutions and manufacturers which he represented and to seek more agencies. He was elected a judge at the international photographic exhibition at Frankfurt, received a gold medal from the Photographic Association of Vienna and became a member of the Royal Geographical Society, London. He had already won medals in exhibitions such as those at Amsterdam, Calcutta and Frankfurt. He was official photographer for the 1888 Melbourne International Exhibition but was not permitted to contest any awards' ('Australian Dictionary of Biography'). However, he was awarded a gold medal there 'with special mention for his ethnological photographs, landscapes and photographs from shipboard; they are simply unique. From a technical point of view the mentioned pictures may be considered as the best in this Exhibition. The ethnological illustrations from New Guinea are even more interesting .' (judges' report). Provenance: Anthony Crawford, anthropologist and publisher, with his ownership signature on the front free endpaper.
