Abstract
ABSTRACT The history of late 19th- and early 20th-century photography in New Caledonia is presented here by comparing loose, unorganized collections against curated bound albums from the Archives of New Caledonia. The comparative framework situates Charles Mitride and Maxime Meyer's amateur photography of domestic space and family life alongside Allan Hughan's government-funded or privately commissioned photographs constructed to record colonial progress. A third dimension offers a longitudinal historical analysis of the motivations and uses of photography from the 1870s to the 1930s, an era of conflict, change, and colonial reshaping of New Caledonia.
