Album des missions de la Nouvelle-Guinée : confiées a la Société des missionaires du Sacré-Coeur

Jullien, André, Société des missionnaires du Sacré-Coeur · 1898 · [S.l. : s.n.] · 25 pictures

An 1898 photographic album of the Sacred Heart missionaries' mission stations in New Guinea, compiled by André Jullien and the Société des missionnaires du Sacré-Coeur for a Catholic readership. The photographs show raised timber houses with thatched roofs, mission compounds among palms, and local people, and a designer might take from them the stilted architecture and tropical settings of colonial-era documentary photography, with the fourth image printed sideways.
