Three photographs of indigenous inhabitants of New Guinea
[New Guinea, Unknown Photographer, circa 1930s?].
Postcard-format gelatin silver photographs (140 × 89 mm or the reverse), one on Kodak Post Card stock, the others on plain stock.
One bottom margin unevenly trimmed; minor silvering-out and trifling signs of handling; in excellent condition.
Two photographs show ornately decorated men in a village. The other one features two young girls in grass skirts holding posies (or something similar); the word 'lusious [sic]' is written in ink on the verso. A fourth snapshot (64 × 108 mm, on 'Velox' paper with the words 'Native Huts' written on the verso) is included: a small group of people, including two white men and two local women, are shown at the front of one of the dwellings.
