About This Item
1843 1ed World Customs OCEANIA Tonga Malaysia Zealand Pacific Island Ethnography
Auguste Wahlen's "Moeurs, usages et costumes de tous les peuples du mond" is considered one of the most important 19th-century histories of the customs of the world's people groups. This survey of the world was published in various, detailed volumes each focusing on one corner of the world. This volume focuses primarily on Oceania. While the articles and descriptions of the peoples are important, the most desirable aspect of this work is the exquisite, full-page color engravings throughout. Notable views include:
• Tonga warriors
• Indigenous people in New Zealand
• Noukahiwa, man covered in tattoos
• Girls from Pitcairn Islands
• Solor Islanders
• Malaysian costumes
