Synopsis
Travel Four Continents and The Islands of The Seas Through The Pages of This Fascinating Book, Originally Published Nearly A Century Ago. Illustrated With Over A Thousand Black-And-White Photos, The Secret Museum of Mankind Offers A Glimpse Into The Lives of Hundreds of Cultures of Mankind In Nativve Dress, At Work and At Leisure. From Masked Warrior Tribes of New Guinea and Decoratively Intricate Scars of Congo Natives To Heavily Veiled Women of Islan and Incredible Postures of Hindu Ascetics, You Will Be Captivated By The Range of Dress, Body Decor, Traditions, Rituals, and Religions Displayed Within Its Pages., Open up The Secret Museum of Mankind and discover a lost world--the fading faces of the indigenous humanity that once covered the globe. Within these pages, the curious armchair adventurer will be taken on a visual tour of the native cultures of America, Africa, Asia, Europe, and the islands of the seas as they existed upon the book's first publication nearly a century ago. Over a thousand black-and-white photographs with captions that reflect the unabashed curiosity and marked sensationalism of the early-twentieth-century adventurer transport the reader to another era. Here revealed are the astonishing variety of rituals, religions, customs, physical decorations, and dress of the world's native cultures. One cannot help but be spellbound by the elaborate costuming, the intricate and painstaking bodily manipulations, the fascinating practices of he cultures whose native expressions and lifestyles have unfortunately suffered at the destructive advancing hands of the twentieth century., A glimpse into the lives at the turn of the 20th century of hundreds of indigenous cultures in native dress, at work and leisure. Illustrations reveal the wide range of dress, body decor, traditions, rituals and religions, and offer a glimpse into a world that has long since been destroyed.

    The seller was very responsive to questions before and after the sale. They very mindfully packaged the Bible to protect it during shipping, and the shipping was really fast even for media mail with USPS. The Bible was in great condition except for a couple flaws, and the description of “clean text” was accurate. The price was fair and overall I am highly satisfied with my purchase and will definitely be ordering from this seller again, as they have a lot of books I want!

    It shipped quickly in solid packaging. It's still in original packaging, never used so it's not good as new, it is new. Got a good value on it. USPS took 8 days from Racine, Wisconsin to Sioux City, Iowa. No wonder they raised postal rates. I recommend this seller.
