Edited by the missionary and anthropologist Albertus Christiaan Kruyt (1869-1949), and originally written by Kruyt (first two parts) and (third part) by the Dutch anthropologist and geographer Nicolaus Adriani (1865-1926). The portfolio atlas includes 13 fine, large, full-colour plates of tools and jewellery, and two very large maps. Some pencilled annotations; two text volumes a bit chipped at spine tops, otherwise good, no library markings. In all a very good set.
