First Edition
Hard Cover. Condition: Good. First Edition. No Date - presumed First Edition Circa 1929. Original paper-covered patterned boards.Rubbed to edges. 6 colour plates others by Baldridge. Clean and tight, superb stylised illustrations. Dimensions: 31.2 x 24.1 x 1.8 cm. THESE sketches and impressions are the dual record of fourteen months in Africa spent mainly on the West Coast, that district from which the black population of the United States was drawn. Taking no more luggage than we would under ordinary traveling conditions, we moved from port to port and entered the far interior. Such transportation as offered, we used: motor lorries; jungle omnibuses catering only to black passengers; launches; canoes; flat-bottomed river boats; and cargosteamers-nine of these, sailing under six different flags. When there were trains, we rode in them; when none, we trekked. This travel was beset with discomfort and, where sanitation, at its best, is poor, with dangers of tropical plagues. Hotels were few and of the frontier type. We took what shelter we could find. We lodged with missionaries of many nationalities and sects. Traders rented us spare rooms over shops. We occupied Government Rest Houses or, equipped for camping, dwelt alone in Bush villages. Africa is usually presented as a grandiose side-show composed of freaks, Topsies, savages, burnt-cork comedians, or safari-porters and houseboys. But the traveler discovers that on the "mysterious dark Continent," among the "trackless jungles" he must present passport and credentials to white police. Africa, except forlorn Liberia and proud Abyssinia, is possessed by whites. Blacks do not provide all the comedy in the tragi-comic scene. Consistently the grotesque has been stressed by those whose vision prejudice distorts. Photographers among these, handicapped from the start by problems of photographing black flesh with its complex reflections, and by peculiarities of tropical light, have too often searched exclusively for the bizarre. We seek to convey the human beauty, the dignity and intelligence possessed by African peoples belonging to widely diversified areas and tribes; and to intimate the clash between White and Black, bewildering to both. C. S. AND C. L. B. Size: 4to.

Paperback. Condition: Good Only. Cyrus Le Roy Baldridge (illustrator). A profusely illustrated account of travelling through Africa by Cyrus Leroy Baldridge and Caroline Singer. Cyrus Leroy Baldridge was an artist, illustrator, author and adventurer who travelled around the world with the writer and his fellow co-author Caroline Singer. This text details the travels of Baldridge and Singer across Africa from Sierra Leone to Ethiopia, a journey made mostly on foot. Described as an 'elegant and respectful portrayal of black African culture written at a time when whites hardly even acknowledged its existence', this text later led the couple to become deeply committed to the rights of black Americans. Indeed, throughout his lifetime Baldridge avidly refused to work with any author who portrayed another race as inferior or foolish. "The dual record of fourteen months in Africa spent mainly on the West Coast." With lovely, stylised illustrations throughout, many of which are in vibrant colour. In a decorative paper covered binding. Externally, worn with minor loss to the paper to some extremities. Paper on spine is lifting but still intact. Some small red marks to lettering of front board. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are clean with some scattered spotting, most prominent to first and last few pages. Good Only. book.
