Book Description
New York: Columbia Univ Press, 1935. Translated by Dorothy Ford Mayhew, with a foreword by Douglas Johnson of Columbia Univ. The translator notes this is an expanded and revised edition from the original French. It remains a geographic classic covering Morocco to Egypt, and the photos are excellent. The last chapter boasts of civilizing North Africa, the views of the French colonialist author, understandable in 1935 but unacceptable now. The red cloth cover has a vivid scene of camels and riders on a vast desert, slight soiling and edgewear. Pages xvi, 264, index. The dustjacket has a top corner missing on the back and a few closed tears, protected in a mylar dj. . First English Edition. Decorative Cloth. Near Fine. Illus. by 32 Sepia Photos, Folding Map. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
