Great idea Cam!.....if it works' I have a illustrated book called "The Heavens Earth and Ocean" by James P. Boyd pub.1887 and while it shows "wonders" from the entire world ,it has a chapter titled Isles of the sea where they have engravings of everything from King Kalakaua of Hawaii and a surfer ,tattooing rituals, Maori monuments,Marquesan carvings to the only illustrations I've seen of Easter Island Moai in profile with rows of bowl-like depressions rising vertically along the cheeks and ears.....( I'll post photos as soon as possible)
