Classical African Scultpure by Trowell, Margaret - 1970

Praeger Publishers, NY, 1970. 3rd edition. Hardcover. Fine/No Jacket. "Classical African Sculpture' originally came into being as a series of lectures written towards the end of the last war for students of the embryo Makerere College, Uganda; its purpose being to awaken in them an interest in the study of African culture. At the time no comprehensive English books on African art were available... A few years later, owing to a visit of Geoffrey Faber to Uganda, the author was encouraged to apply for a University Research Grant to study the collections of the British Museum, the Musee de l'Homme and the then Musee Royal du Congo Belge, now the Musee Royal de'Afrique Centrale."
