Photograph (black and white); lantern slide of a drafted contour map, hand-coloured; map depicting the quarry, and showing the location and distribution of the moai (figure carvings); Rano Raraku, Easter Island. Photographer: The name of the photographer is not known, however, Routledge clearly states in her book that an unnamed person was employed especially to take photographs. Furthermore, it is strongly believed that Katherine Maria Routledge played a strong role in instructing the photographer as to what and how views were to be photographed.Artist: The collection also contains several sketches by an unidentified artist depicting views of Easter Island. In some cases, the artist could possibly be K M Routledge, but there is no additional information to support this.Maps and diagrams: There are several maps and diagrams in the collection, depicting the routes taken during the expedition, and listing where Moai (figure carvings) were excavated on Easter Island.Objects: Some of the photographs depict objects discovered on Easter Island, now in different museums and/or private collections.
