The Oldman Collection of Maori Artifacts.

W.O. Oldman.

The Oldman collection of exploration ethnography was one of the finest assembled in London by a private individual in the latter part of the nineteenth century. The fully illustrated catalogue was originally published in 1938. This modern edition now has a completely new and comprehensive introduction providing insight into the context of the collection. The Maori and Pacific component of the Oldman collection was purchased by the New Zealand Government in 1948. Illustrated.
