TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR THESE ARE 19TH CENTURY NOT 18TH AS PREVIOULY NOTED19th Century photographs of New Guinea. Twenty-five mounted prints mainly measuring 29 x 23 cm, and mainly covering the declaration of the British Protectorate along the south-eastern coastline of New Guinea, from Motu-Motu in the West, to Killerton Island in the East. The various flag raising ceremonies were performed by Commodore James Elphinstone Erskine (1838-1911), of the Australian station, who in turn appointed Hugh Hastings Romilly (1856-1892) as Acting Deputy Commissioner until the arrival of Sir Peter Scratchley the following year. Charles Lyne, correspondent for the 'Sydney Morning Herald', and covering the expedition for that paper, gives a detailed account of the journey in 'New Guinea' (Sampson Low, London, 1885). Rhodes House Library has a volume of 'Narrative of the expedition of the Australian Squadron to the South Eastern coast of New Guinea October to December 1884' containing chromolithographic illustrations and thirty six of these photographs. ( See http://cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/view/PH-Y-03084-A/12 ). Images include:-First gathering of Native Chiefs aboard H.M.S. 'Nelson', Port Moresby, November 5th. The Reverend James Chalmers was sent out to persuade local chiefs to come on board H.M.S. 'Nelson', and here Commodore Erskine explains the meaning of the protectorate to them. He is here seen shaking hands with Boe Vagi, as he presents him with his ebony stick of authority ('rather a nice idea' Romilly remarks). The other chiefs sit on the deck, while the ship's company is gathered behind. Various national flags have been draped above the deck as awnings. Behind Erskine, in white suit and topee stands Reverend Lawes, interpreting, and between Erskine and Boe Vagi is H.H. Romilly. In the foreground, back to camera between Lawes and Erskine, is probably Captain Bridge of H.M.S. 'Espiegle'. The portly bearded figure in a topee behind Lawes is possibly Henry Chester, who announced the annexation of South-eastern New Guinea on behalf of the Queensland Government in April 1883. :- The reading the proclamation of annexation, Mr Lawe's house, Port Moresby, New Guinea, November 1884 / photographer John Paine or Augustine E.
