How it works

Register

"B A Pauw, 1943" (in ink on the front free endpaper) became one of South Africa's leading anthropologists.

Divided into three main parts: Synthetic Sketches; Critique of Theories; Historial and Psychological Aspects.

The blue cloth-boards, gilt to the spine, are lightly rubbed at the extremities. The plain endpapers and xix + 346 pp of text, bibliography and index are otherwise unmarked and undiscoloured. No illustrations.

A sound copy of an early standard work.

[See Lot 17 for Lowie's other major work, Primitive Society, first published in the U S in 1920]
