Alfred Cort Haddon (1855-1940) was a highly influential British
anthropologist and ethnologist who was instrumental in the
foundation of a school of anthropology at Cambridge University.
During 1898 and 1899, Haddon led an expedition which conducted
ethnographical research in the Torres Strait, New Guinea, and
Borneo. The main results of this expedition were compiled in a
series of volumes, written by various contributors. Originally
published in 1912, this fourth volume in that series concentrates
on arts and crafts. The text contains information on a broad
variety of traditions from the region, with topics ranging from
horticultural practice to music. A large number of illustrative
figures are included, demonstrating the rich cultural life of the
indigenous peoples. This fascinating volume, the vast majority of
which was written by Haddon himself, will be of value to anyone
with an interest in the development of anthropology and ethnology.
