Art in Oceania : a new history /Peter Brunt ... [et al.] ; edited by Peter Brunt and Nicholas Thomas, assisted by Stella Ramage. "The arts of Oceania are astonishing: great statues, daunting tattoos, dynamic carving, dazzling woven and painted fabrics, intricately carved weapons, and a bewildering variety of ornaments, ritual objects, and utilitarian but beautiful things. This landmark book breaks new ground by setting the art of Oceania in its full historical context and capturing an up-to-date understanding of the field. From archaeological findings of prehistoric art to the impact of pre-colonial, colonial and post-colonial historical processes, it explores influences such as migration, trade, missionaries, pacification, tourism, nationalism and contemporary market factors, offering abundant new interpretations and addressing significant gaps in other publications. Factors that have been largely neglected until now, including the role of museums, the significance of colonial photography, indigenous modernisms and contemporary Pacific art, are covered alongside the familiar canon. This beautifully illustrated volume will appeal to general readers interested in world art, collectors, university students, scholars and museum professionals in the field."--Provided by the publisher. 2012. • FOLIO • 1 copy available. 7(9)

Governor William Hobson : his health problems and final illness /Ronald V. Trubuhovich.

Hobson suffered from ill health throughout his career culminating in a debilitating stroke within a month of the signing of the Treaty. In the months before his death Hobson was increasingly criticised in the New Zealand press for being unable to adequately represent the interests of the new settlement. He died of a second stroke in September 1842. 2015. • FOLIO • 1 copy available. 92HOBSON

Granville Stapylton : Australia Felix 1836 : Second in command to Major Mitchell /Gregory C. Eccleston. "Granville Stapylton Australia Felix 1836 Second-in-command to Major Mitchell is based on the true journals of the pioneer land surveyor Granville Stapylton when he accompanied Major Thomas Mitchell on the famous 'Australia Felix' expedition in 1836, as his second-in-command. This expedition proceeded down the Lachlan, Murrumbidgee and Murray rivers into far western New South Wales, before crossing into what is now Victoria and proceeded south past the Grampians to the coast at Portland, before returning via Mount Macedon to the settled areas near Gundagai. Their continuous survey traverse from Boree (near Molong) to Jugiong (near Gundagai), via south-west Victoria, was found to have a commendably small misclosure of 13/4 miles. Stapylton's journals clarify when and where several natural history discoveries were made, including that of the now extinct Pig-footed Bandicoot, the now extinct White-footed Rabbit-rat, and the first-ever sighting of an australite. Stapylton's journals also describe several first contacts with the indigenous people, the sometimes-fraught relationship between himself and Mitchell, and Stapylton's concern for the welfare of the young girl Ballandella, whom Mitchell took home to raise with his family: one of the first instances of the 'stolen generation'. Being of the aristocracy, Stapylton found it hard to fraternise with the convicts in the team, but by the end of the expedition he had warmed to them sufficiently to praise them for always treating Turandurey (the female in the party) with respect. The book later describes the attack on Stapylton's survey camp in far north-eastern New South Wales, inland from Mount Warning, in 1840, resulting in the murder of Stapylton and one of his men. The farcical criminal trial in Sydney in 1841 is described in detail, with the men adjudged guilty being brought back to the infant Brisbane Town to be publicly hanged from the vanes of the windmill. Also revealed is Mitchell's assuming responsibility for Stapylton's baby son, including his care and schooling until he was old enough to become employed."--Dust Jacket 2018. • FOLIO • 1 copy available. 92STAPYLTON
