New Guinea photographs, 1915 to 1974.

Photographic prints atached to bound sheets of paper with a cover sheet stating, 'Early folders of photos for use in Masked Eden. Some used, some not.' The photographs are numbered and the folder is accompanied by a corresponding list of captions. The photographs show members of the McCosker family and their New Guinea associates, local people who were probably plantation employees or their relations, and scenes from locations in New Guinea where the McCoskers were based. A second set of photographic prints, attached to loose sheets of cardboard, feature similar subjects. The file contains a photograph album (28 pages : 98 b&w photographs ; 13 x 18 x 2 cm) attributed to Winifred Francis Martin, which contains photographic prints from the mid-1930s of scenes and Indigenous people from the northern islands of New Guinea. The file also contains three photographs; two of the photographs show Australian military personnel returning to Australia in 1918 aboard the Euripides; the third photograph, taken in the 1950s, is of Annie Scott, who was aboard the Euripides during the 1918 voyage. The notes on the reverse of the photograph of Scott reference the monograph Homeward on H.M.T. A14 March 1918, compiled by the passengers during the voyage.
