I picked up a mint copy of the December, 1921 issue of National Geographic today. It's a special issue about Polynesia, and one of the articles is called Mystery of Easter Island. The article was written by Mrs. Scoresby (Katherine) Rutledge, who was the first archaeologist to perform a systematic survey of the island and the last to record the memories of the descendants of Easter's Birdman Cult. Her original survey data is still used by modern archaeologists. The article is filled with wonderful photographs and illustrations that I have scanned for your edification. If you have difficulty reading the text at the bottom of the photos, there are larger versions of the scans available on my webpage, Vintage Oceania. Enjoy!
