The Territory of Papua and New Guinea Collection 30 Large Photos 1965 RARE
A series of 30 large photos, historical and contemporary, of the Territory of Papua and New Guinea presented in an information folder prepared and published by the Department of Territories, Canberra in April 1965. A rare publication, the booklet presents a wonderful scope of photos which provide a viewpoint into the history of modern day Papua New Guinea. Each photo is numbered and is accompanied by an in-depth caption explaining the photo. An information pamphlet which provides a brief of the Territory is included which was printed by A. J Arthur, Commonwealth Government Printer, Canberra.

All photos are 22.3cm x 20.3cm - this measurement includes their captions. The booklet and some of the photos have visible ageing. Some photos have marks on their reverse side from previous hinging (sticky tape, etc). Others have similar hinging marks on their front sides. Four of the photos have a single tear in one corner.
