Kathy Duncan is an artist who has found some pictures taken by her grandfather in Samoa early last century. Kathy contacted us to find out if we recognised or knew anything about any of the women in the first three photographs. She is painting a series of photographs and would be interested in obtaining any relevant information.
Send any response to webmaster@samoa.co.uk and we will forward them to Kathy.
