Schiffer Publishing Ltd.
This volume by Mark Blackburn draws on 380 historic color postcard images dating from 1898 to 1948 to document women across the Pacific: the Cook Islands, Hawaiʻi, Fiji, Tahiti, Samoa, Tonga, and New Zealand. The postcards, produced during a period of sustained Western interest in Polynesia, form a visual archive of how Pacific women were represented for popular audiences in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Concise text for each locale covers geography, local history, early European contact, traditional crafts, and cultural practice.
