The Fiji Observer and West Pacific Advertiser<br />
no. 55, Friday 15 July 1887<br />
OVERSEAS RARE BOOKS COLLECTION<br />
N is for Newspaper<br />
The increase in European settlement <strong>of</strong> Fiji during the late<br />
19th century led to the establishment <strong>of</strong> the first English-language<br />
newspapers. This rare edition <strong>of</strong> The Fiji Observer and West Pacific<br />
Advertiser is printed on tapa, which is made from thin strips <strong>of</strong><br />
bark. Tapa plays an important ceremonial role in South Pacific<br />
cultures and is used to make everyday clothing and decorations.
