LMS ship, Papua New Guinea, ca. 1890

"London Missionary Society's "Harrier". Sailing ship at sea. This ship was wrecked in July 1891.; One of 113 albumen prints mounted in an album by W.G. Lawes. Formerly the first resident missionary on the South Sea island of Niue, Lawes transferred to Papua New Guinea in 1874 until his retirement in 1906. Lawes was a pioneer missionary photographer, and the first permanent non-indigenous resident of Papua New Guinea. He created the first photographic images of the islands and its peoples as well as images of missionary work, which were distributed commercially through Henry King of Sydney. Lawes' knowledge of, and role in, Papuan life was also of paramount importance to other photographers, particularly those of colonial government and expeditionary parties, such as the Australia-based professional photographer J. W. Lindt, who acknowledged the decisive role that Lawes played in facilitating his visit to Papua New Guinea and the photographic work he was able to carry out.

伦敦传道会（London Missionary Society）的‘哈雷号’（Harrier）：一艘海上航行的帆船，该船于1891年7月失事沉没。
此为W.G.劳斯（W.G. Lawes）所装订的影集中收录的113张蛋白印相（albumen print）作品之一。劳斯曾是南太平洋纽埃岛（Niue）首位常驻传教士，1874年转赴巴布亚新几内亚（Papua New Guinea），直至1906年退休。
劳斯是传教士摄影师先驱，同时也是巴布亚新几内亚首位常驻非原住民居民。他拍摄了该群岛及其原住民的首批影像，以及传教工作相关纪实画面，这些作品经由悉尼的亨利·金（Henry King）进行商业发行。
劳斯对巴布亚生活的了解及其在当地发挥的作用，对其他摄影师而言也至关重要，尤其是殖民政府及探险队的摄影师——例如澳大利亚职业摄影师J. W.林特（J. W. Lindt），后者曾明确认可，劳斯在协助其赴巴布亚新几内亚开展访问及摄影工作方面发挥了决定性作用。
