The American painter John La Farge travelled through the Pacific with his friend Henry Adams, and this diary records what he saw: Honolulu and the volcanoes of Hawaii, a long stay in Samoa among chiefs and village dances, then Tahiti and Fiji. He writes as a painter, alert to colour, light and gesture, and the book reproduces his own drawings and watercolours.
