Atlas Africanus.

£650 · Offered by Maggs Bros Ltd

Two scarce works in very good condition. Frobenius was an important German ethnographer and archeologist. Over thirty years he led twelve trips to Africa and pioneered the cultural-historical approach to ethnography. The Atlas was projected as the first part of a larger work providing a comprehensive overview of African cultural morphology. Although the title page of Das Sterbende Afrika states this is the “erste band”, no further volumes were published.
