Makonde

Fenzel, Kristian (Ed.). Makonde. Linz: Neue Galerie, 1997. First edition. Quarto. 216pp. Original photo-illustrated dust-jacket over black cloth with white lettering on spine.

Various levels of quality and age have been deliberately selected in order to provide both a comparative yardstick and to furnish access to an enormous range of design details. This study is profusely illustrated with numerous color and b/w photographic reproductions. Previous owner’s blind stamp on title page (Norman Hurst). Text in German and English. Dust-jacket, binding and interior in overall very good condition. vg. Hardcover. (34846) $95
