ItemThe Forsters back in the spotlight: Unknown manuscript on Easter Island discovered in Poland( 2014-05-01)The present article deals with a previously unknown manuscript found in the Jagiellonian Library in Cracow (Poland). Written in French, the document was composed by the Forsters, famous naturalists that traveled with Captain Cook. The manuscript is a complete essay on Easter Island, being at the same time a political, social and philosophical manifesto. For Rapa Nui, it includes descriptions and commentaries not present in other writings by both authors. Transcription and translation are offered in this paper, as well as the analysis of technical and meritorical aspects of the manuscript.

ItemHoa Hakananai‘a, an Easter Island statue now in the British Museum, photographed in 1868( 2014-05-01)This paper considers two early photos of Hoa Hakananai‘a, a fine statue removed from Rapa Nui in 1868 and now in the British Museum. As well as documenting part of the voyage, they show details significant for our understanding of the statue and its petroglyphs. The photos seem to have been taken by a Valparaíso studio. It is hoped that research by others in Chile may reveal more about them.
