Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Oblong folio. Measuring 13" x 10.5". Red cloth album stamped in black with "Photographs" on front board in gilt. Album contains 38 large albumen prints with 36 of them by Charles-Georges Spitz and the other two by Frank Homes. The boards are lightly worn and have some modest stains, one on the rear board, the cardboard leaves have foxing on the margins, overall sound and very good. The images are especially bold, bright and are fine. Nice large (approximately 8.5" x 6.5") and very sharp images, each contained in a slotted frame in the thick card leaves of the album. Neatly hand-captioned in French in red ink. Most of the images depict indigenous Tahitians, mostly in native costumes; with a very few in Westernized clothing. Some depict dancing, harbor scenes, the Queen of Bora-Bora, working, and other scenes of daily life. Among the captioned pictures are: "Panorama de Papeete, Palais des Pomaré, Palais de justice, Pirogue de fête, Hôpital militaire, Concours de pirogues le 14 juillet 1898, Banian du Cercle Militaire, Concours de danse, Tahitiens, Himens, Groupes de danseurs, Costumes anciens, le Marché, Danse des Indiens de Pondichéry, Chef de l'île Atiu, 1er prix de costume anciens, Indigène des îles Marquises, Avenue de Fataua, la Upa-Upa, Une source à Tahiti, Pont Phaéton, La reine de Bora-Bora," etc. Exceptionally bold and bright images, a truly remarkable album.

[Circa 1885]. Albumen print photograph, 193 x 152 mm; verso with fully contemporary caption in pencil: Pomare's tomb - Tahiti; a strong print with dark tones; the print has some light creasing but is otherwise in very good condition; unmounted. [TOGETHER WITH] A smaller albumen print, 110 x 165 mm, with another view of the tomb probably taken around the same time, the verso inscribed in pencil: Pomare's IV tomb, and with the wet stamp of 'G. Spitz, Papeete, Tahiti'; heavier creasing than the larger photograph, and a couple of nicks to bottom edge. Queen Pomare IV reigned for 50 years. Upon her death on September 17, 1877 she was buried in this purpose-built tomb - an imposing pyramid with a rectangular base, constructed from coral blocks. Ten years later, however, her son King Pomare V had her body exhumed and moved to the nearby royal cemetery of the Pomare family.Pomare V ceded the islands to France and became the last monarch of Tahiti. When he died from alcoholism in 1891 he was buried in this tomb that had originally been designed for his mother. It is today known as King Pomare V's tomb. Provenance:James Lyle Young (1849-1929), Papeete merchant and Pacific Islands trader; by descent (Melbourne, Australia). …

[Circa 1885]. Albumen print photograph (160 x 210 mm) of two pages of music notation (the original was most likely handwritten and then lithographically printed before it was photographed); generic title legible asAirs tahitiens at the head of the left-hand page, with the title of the individual tuneArue! Arue!(= Praise! Praise!) at the head of the right-hand-page; the print was laid down on a sheet of folding card (175 x 220 mm) by its original owner, Papeete resident Mary Young (see below), to create a unique "homemade" piece of sheet music; the albumen print has a few small small surface scratches but is otherwise in good condition; the card mount is toned and lightly foxed. This unusual photograph of a transcription of traditional Tahitian music was probably taken in Papeete by either Charles Georges Spitz or Mrs Sophia Hoare, the only two professional photographers working in Tahiti in this period. Provenance: Mary Young (Stringer) (1854, Tahiti - 1918, Auckland), wife of merchant James Lyle Young (1849-1929); by descent through the Australian branch of the Young family. Mary journeyed by herself from Australia (where she had been visiting relatives) to San Francisco, via Hawaii, at the end of 1888. She gave birth to their son, Walter Lyle, in San Francisco on 2 June 1889, before returning with her newborn to Tahiti in August. Later in life Mary settled in Homebush, Sydney. James Lyle Young (1849-1929) was a Pacific Islands trader based in Tahiti. He was the cousin of Irishpolitician, diplomat and historian James, 1stViscount Bryce (1838-1922). Young was a founding member of the Polynesian Society. He collected many important Micronesian and Polynesian artefacts which were either donated to the Auckland Museum, New Zealand, or sold to the Bishop Museum, Hawaii.His journals and miscellaneous papers are held in the Mitchell Library, Sydney.…
