A very rare, beautiful, and interesting book... 'The cave dwellers of southern Tunisia. Recollections of a sojourn with the Khalifa of Matmata. Translated from Danish.' This is the first edition of this scarce autobiographical account of the author's time with the cave dwellers in Tunisia, written by Daniel Bruun and illustrated throughout. It features a frontispiece, vignettes, and nine monochrome plates. Complete with all pages. The work was written by Daniel Bruun and offers an autobiographical account of his time in Tunisia. It focuses on the cave dwellers in southern Tunisia, with the trip initially intended as research for the National Museum. The book is in very good condition, with light external wear around edges and corners, shelf wear, bright gilt, and some light stains. The interior is very clean and complete.
Rare. Perfect Christmas gift.
