Other Information

Biographical Information: George Kingsley Roth was appointed to Fiji in the Colonial Administrative Service in 1928 where he remained until his death in 1957. [Source: British Library, JD 3/8/2011]

A note found by Lucie Carreau in her documents while working on the Fijian Art Research Project suggests that this image was made on Lau. There is no source for this information, but it is likely that it was received from Prof. Steven Hooper while preparing the Chiefs and Governors exhibition in 2013. The place field has been amended accordingly [Lucie Carreau, 20/11/2017]
