Forschungen im Innern der Insel Neuguinea : (Bericht des Führers über die wissenschaftlichen Ergebnisse der deutschen Grenzexpedition in das westliche Kaiser-Wilhelmsland 1910)

Schultze, Leonhard Sigmund, 1872-1955 · 1914 · Berlin : E.S. Mittler, · 79 pictures

A German scientific travel account of the 1910 German border expedition into western Kaiser-Wilhelmsland in New Guinea, written by expedition leader Leonhard Schultze and published in Berlin by E.S. Mittler in 1914 for an academic and general readership interested in ethnology and exploration. Its photographs show thatched dwellings on stilts, cleared river banks strewn with fallen logs, dense tropical undergrowth, and a figure seated beside a buttressed tree, offering a designer raw material on tropical vegetation, vernacular architecture, and the look of early field photography.
