Pictures are from this book...


"People of the Pacific" Photographed by "South Sea Scotty" 1943, published by Charles Scott Guletz.

I would only be assuming since this was published in 1943, that most of the pictures and the stories would have been from the late 1930's to early 1940's. Mentions of unexplored and unrefined territories, cannibalism and polygamy follow the time line.
