Taken in Mailu, Papua, 1932, by the librarian Phyllis Mander-Jones, these photographs are evidence of a moment when tourism, missionary life and colonialism intersected.

Mander-Jones would later use these photographs for the basis of watercolours and lino prints, representing women's labour. You can view digitised versions of the lino prints via the SLNSW catalogue.

Did you see a historian quietly happy dancing in Special Collections at @statelibrarynsw yesterday? If so, hello! I'd just seen this letter from the LMS missionary, Will Saville, to his brother, Alfred. See that return address? An indication of how PMJ came to holiday in Mailu.

In three weeks, I’ll start analysing her journal from this period and another from her Tahiti cruise, taken in 1957. Why? To learn how she created her NSW State Library archive content and to discuss the stories she provided about encounters with Melanesian and Polynesian women.

An Australian librarian, Phyllis Mander-Jones, presented these lino prints of life on the Papuan island of Mailu to the State Libary of New South Wales on 25 March 1955. From April to June 1932, Mander-Jones holidayed at the London Missionary Society site in Mailu, Papua. From there, she took the occasional day to travel along the southeastern coast.

I'm examining the British New Guinea Annual Reports for part of today, and this gem from 1905-1906 has provided academic awe and inspiration for my post-thesis tattoo. The latter, I plan to be a collective of Papuan and Rarotongan flowers.

Do you know of any research conducted regarding historical instances of sign language or nonverbal communication between British-Australian travellers, missionaries, colonisers and Papuans in the L1800s, E1900s? If so, can you please make a recommendation- I'm looking for readings on this topic.
