Illustrated dustjacket, black cloth-boards, plain endpapers, vi/155 pp of text, appendix and index with 40 inserted b/w plates on art-paper by the noted photographer of Africans in their tribal dress A M Duggan-Cronin (see the Duggan-Cronin Gallery in Kimberley)
- The dustjacket is edge-chipped with a sunned spine; the title-page and other early leaves are lightly sunned; but the boards and contents, including the inserted plates on art-paper are otherwise very good: complete, unmarked and otherwise undiscoloured; making this a very good copy of an important anthropological and ethnological book
Junod was a noted missionary and anthropologist and his book was sponsored by the then South African Chamber of [Gold] Mines, whose workers were recruited from different regions of the subcontinent, speaking Zulu, Xhosa, Venda, Shangaan, Ndebele, Shona and other Nguni and Sotho Bantu languages
