Grubauer, Albert: Unter Kopfjägern in Central-Celebes Leipzig: Voigtländer 1913. 23,5 x 16,7 cm. With 16 photographic plates, 2 fold-out maps and 322 full-page, mostly photographic, illustrations in the text. XI, 608 pp. Illustr. original linen binding.
(Slightly worn and with fingerprints. Front cover slightly loose. One map with a small tear underneath; title page with a small, repaired hole in the bottom margin; half-title page with a handwritten owner’s note.)
Research report on Professor Grubauer’s ethnological field trip, during which he visited previously unexplored parts of Central Celebes at the suggestion of Director Grünwedel of the Ethnological Museum in Berlin. Until then, these hard-to-reach areas had only been visited by the Sarasin cousins in 1895/96 and 1902. – Rich in illustrative material.
