AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Rare original edition of this travel account to Niger, Sudan, Guinea, and Dahomey, adorned with 68 heliogravures after the author's photographs.

Enriched with a signed message from the author Germain Beauclair: [to Dr. Jean Laverré, some aspects of the land of Africa that I would like him to be unaware of, very amicably. June 1945]

Bound in a lovely half-calf camel leather binding with corner protectors, flat boards, and a spine decorated with gold-lettered title. Covers and spine preserved.
Printed on fine ivory paper (unnumbered). In very good condition despite the cracked spine and discreet scuffs at the corners and headbands. Interior fresh and clean. Beautiful copy.

Signed; Germain Beauclair
