Industrie des
Cafres du Sud-Est de l'Afrique by Snelleman and Muller 1891-92.
Snelleman and Muller walked through present day
Zululand into Mozambique during the late 19th century. Along the way
they collected artifacts, leading the way to the creation of this exquisite
art work.
We have
been told that there were only 100 copies produced, 90 in folio form.
Most of those which remain are in government or museum libraries.
This
extremely rare and beautiful example has been bound with a hard cover.
Not all pages have been cut from their original fold over's.
The title page has some
creasing and a few small tears which have been repaired. The contents
are otherwise clean, mostly free from foxing. The bottom margin of the
text pages are sometimes a little creased or have some repaired small
tears. The last two chromolithographs are
missing, but have been reproduced on good paper and in color, showing
the original tint. The
remaining 25 plates are stunning and in in fine condition.
Price: $4500.00
plus postage.

27 Plates contained therein.
