摘要
四位早期的摄影师在这里被审视他们与汤加人和汤加人的相遇。这些摄影师是Andrew Garrett、Gustav Adolph Riemer、Clarence Gordon Campbell和Walter Stanhope Sherwill。Garrett是一位专门研究贝壳和鱼类的美国自然历史学家,他于1868年在斐济拍摄了两张汤加人的模型,这是已知最早的两张汤加照片。里默出生于德国萨尔卢伊斯,是赫塔号的一名海洋摄影师,曾进行正式外交访问,1876年在汤加拍摄了至少28张照片。来自纽约的游客坎贝尔在1902年拍摄了25张具有重要文化意义的照片。Sherwill是一名出生在印度的英国人,大约在第一次世界大战期间搬到了汤加。他可能用更现代化的设备拍摄了许多照片,但只有两张照片被确定。本文介绍了摄影师和被描绘者的信息,在哪里可以找到原始照片,以及从中收集文化信息的研究。这些早期摄影师被放在其他更知名的早期摄影师的背景下,他们的作品可以在新西兰、澳大利亚、夏威夷和德国的档案馆和图书馆中找到。此外,还提供了关于两名汤加出生的摄影师的简要信息,以及他们的照片/底片可以在哪里找到。
Four early photographers are examined here in relation to their encounters with Tongans and Tonga. These photographers are Andrew Garrett, Gustav Adolph Riemer, Clarence Gordon Campbell and Walter Stanhope Sherwill. Garrett, an American natural historian who specialized in shells and fish, took two ambrotypes of Tongans in Fiji in 1868, which are two of the earliest Tongan photographs known. Riemer, born in Saarlouis, Germany, was a marine photographer on S.M.S. Hertha on an official diplomatic visit and took at least 28 photographs in Tonga in 1876. Campbell, a tourist from New York, took 25 culturally important photographs in 1902. Sherwill, a British subject born in India, moved to Tonga about the time of the First World War. He probably took many photographs with more modern equipment, but only two have been identified with certainty. This article presents information about the photographers and those depicted, where the original photographs can be found and the research that made it possible to glean cultural information from them. These early photographers are placed in the context of other more well-known early photographers whose works can be found in archives and libraries in New Zealand, Australia, Hawai‘i and Germany. In addition, summary information about two Tongan-born photographers is presented, as well as where their photographs/negatives can be found.
