8vo. x, 140 pp. Numerous photo plates. Blue publisher's boards, red lettering on spine (light uniform interior toning as usual), w/ d.j. cover art by Ellen Graves Seham (slight chipping head & foot of spine, minor age toning, shelfwear), still VG/VG copy, from the library of Elof Axel Carlson (1931-2025), noted geneticist, historian of science, and fierce opponent of eugenics. First edition, first American printing ($ 5.95 price on front flap), of this informative and influential humanistic anthropological study which detailed the experiences of John Merrick who suffered from a severe bone & skin disorder, was exhibited as a circus sideshow, and yet still remained a gentle and dignified human being. The work was also adapted into the Tony Award-winning play of the same name starring Billy Crudup, and the 1980 film by David Lynch starring John Hurt, Anthony Hopkins, and Anne Bancroft. Montagu (1905-1999) was a noted anthropologist and social biologist who was as equally opposed to eugenics as Carlson, dismantled the concepts of men's superiority to women, and was one of the key scientists who wrote the bill for the formation of the National Science Foundation.
