Description

Lantern Slide (black and white); a man dangling his feet in the sea, perching on an outrigger canoe; a second outrigger canoe partially visible on the right; mountain peak visible in the distance; photographed from a boat; Polynesia.

Context: It is unclear where this image was photographed, and from what island the man is from. It could be either Mangareva or Rapa Iti.

Overview of Routledge collection: This collection of lantern slides were photographed during two archaeological expeditions, conducted by William Scoresby Routledge and his wife Katherine Maria Routledge. The majority of the collection was photographed during the ‘Mana Expedition’ in 1913-1915 to Easter Island, which also stopped in Chile and Juan Fernandez Islands on route. Whilst in Chile, Routledge enlisted the aid of Chilean men and boys. One boy from Juan Fernandez is depicted in a number of images, used as a scale guide. Subsequent expeditions to Mangareva, Raivaevae, and Rapa Iti were made in 1921-1923, during which a smaller number of images were made.
