Prince Alfred (son of Queen Victoria of England) visited Tahiti in
1870. He is seated on a chair at centre. The woman resting on his
knee is Mlle. Brander (Titana) (cf Chamonal, Early Inhabitants
In Oceania, no. 72 reproduced back cover).
Good condition but with small section of surface lifting, left
hand edge, due to tiny puncture on reverse. |
