Originally published in 1935, the aim of this book was to introduce
the European to the art of West Africa. Many of the examples
(extensively illustrated with black and white photos are from the
regions between Senegal and Angola, primarily from Gambia, Sierra
Leone, the Gold Coast, Nigeria and the Cameroons. Although the art
and sculpture of West Africa is coherent, there are tribal and
territorial characteristics which are discussed as is the
significance of masks in ritual ceremony.
