New Guinea Social Studies Pictures for Standard IV

One hundred and thirteen black and white photographs, all captioned, all measuring 25 x 31cms., of aspects of contemporary life in Papua New Guinea, and produced for educational purposes in Australia. The images are divided into twenty categories - fashions, timber, transport, gold - all of which portray the country in a period of progress thanks to a Western cultural and economic model while many of the others, see opposite, stress the traditional and, to us, exotic elements.
