Beschreibung

Spine darkened with stain marks and an old label, previous owner's name stamped on covers and first page, but internally clean. Contains the article 'A Book Of Tapa' by Henry Usher Hall. "The Museum had just acquired A Catalogue of the Different Specimens of Cloth Collected in the Three Voyages of Captain Cook, a series published by Alexander Shaw in 1787.Henry Usher Hall was Assistant Curator and Curator of the General Ethnology Section of the Museum from 1915 to 1935. To barkcloth book enthusiasts, he is a trail-blazer. Hall wrote arguably the earliest and most frequently cited scholarly paper about the Shaw books when he surveyed the copy newly acquired by Gordon for the Penn Museum for The Museum Journal in 1921, complete with detailed watercolors of its samples by Museum artist M. Louise Baker." There seems to be some confusion about which book is described in this article - it is not the one currently in the Penn collection! Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 2208
