Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. European explorers of the Pacific in the 18th and early 19th centuries faced a problem - how to describe the people they met and report what they had seen and found. From Cook onwards, a serious expedition included artists and scientists in its ship's company. An ambitious journey of the 19th century was the third voyage of the French explorer Dumont d'Urville, from 1837 to 1840. It was just before the invention of photography, when phrenology, the study of people's skulls, was the latest thing. D'Urville chose to take on the voyage an eminent phrenologist, Pierre-Marie Dumoutier, to preserve likenesses of people by making life casts. When the expedition returned to France, the casts were displayed, and later stored in the Musee de l'Homme in Paris, to be joined eventually by other casts from Dumoutier's collection, including those of the d'Urville and Dumoutier families. All were overtaken by photography and history.

Hardcover. Condition: New. In the 18th and early 19th centuries, European explorers in the Pacific region faced a challenge: how to describe the peoples they met and how to report what they had seen and found. Thus, it was necessary that serious expeditions include artists and scientists in its ship's company. One ambitious journey of the 19th century was the third voyage of the French explorer Dumont d'Urville, from 1837 to 1840. It was just before the invention of photography, when phrenology, the study of people's skulls, was popular. On this South Pacific voyage, D'Urville chose to take an eminent phrenologist, Pierre-Marie Dumoutier, to make head lifecasts of the indigenous peoples they would encounter in order to preserve their likenesses. When the expedition returned to France, the casts were displayed, then later stored in the Musee de l'Homme in Paris. The collection was soon overtaken by photography and history. In 2007, photographer Fiona Pardington first learned of the lifecasts when a chance conversation initiated a four-year project. It took her from Auckland, New Zealand, to the Musee de l'Homme, as she researched and photographed more than 50 casts of Maori, Pacific, and European individuals, including casts of her Ngai Tahu ancestors. This rich and engaging book contains Pardington's photographs. These photographs are extraordinarily beautiful, evocative, and spiritually powerful images. They recover the likenesses and revive the life force of Dumoutier's indigenous subjects, eliciting our empathy and fascination with a world we can never really know. With essays by leading scholars in Pacific history, art, and photography, on subjects as diverse as phrenology, cast-making, the voyage, and the identity of the Maori casts, the book will appeal to anyone interested in 19th-century encounters between voyagers and the peoples of the Pacific, or contemporary art and photography.…
