Ethnographische beschrijving van de west- en noord-kust van Nederlandsch Nieuw-Guinea / door F.S.A. de Clercq met medewerking van J.D.E. Schmeltz ... Met bijvoeging eener schets der ethnographie van Duitsch en Britsch Nieuw-Guinea. Met 42 platen en 51 tekstillustraties
An 1893 Leiden ethnographic study by F.S.A. de Clercq, with J.D.E. Schmeltz, describing the west and north coasts of Dutch New Guinea for a scholarly readership of colonial-era ethnologists. Its plates are measured drawings of tools, weapons, ornaments and containers from Papuan peoples, arranged in tidy groups on plain grounds. A designer could draw on their orderly layout, hand-hatched shading and precise catalogue-style arrangement of objects.
