    It looks to be a scrap book with most of the prints hand signed, dated and numbered by a fellow named "Gibson". Anyone heard of this guy? Does this book have any value?

    Lots of anthropology going on in that period, Margaret Mead, Bronislaw Malinowski, etc. Could be the photographer for such a study.

    A quick internet search brings up a professional photographer named Archie Gibson in 1930s Port Moresby.
