About This Item

Princeon, NJ: Princeton University Press, 1969. Folio. Issued as the first in a series of classics including Gladys Reichard's Navajo Religion, Mircea Eliade's The Myth of the Eternal Return, and others destined to be classics of the spiritual aspects of the Navajo view of the sacred. The artist Maud Oakes left her studio in 1941 to spend two years on the Navajo reservation studying Navajo ceremonialism. Jeff King, a seventy-five-year-old Navajo singer joined her as they prepared the young Navajo men who were going to war. When the Bollingen Foundation agreed to reproduce the 1943 edition, which had become very scarce, they also obtained the services of Joseph Campbell to provide a commentary on the original work. In this fine edition, they provided a box for the work and also 18 color plates of Indian Sand Paintings. Bound in black stiff paper wraps with pastedown title, prints wrapped separately, all housed within the box which has preserved the text and plates in fine condition, box nearly fine. All 18 plates are present, previous owner's gift inscription.
