CARL AND FREDERICK W. DAMMANN
Ethnological Photographic Gallery of the Various Races of Men. London: Trübner and Co., n.d. [but 1875]. Oblong 2° (305 x 420mm). With prospectus and off-print of review bound-in. 166 albumen prints mounted on both sides of 12 leaves of card with printed frames and captions, with guards. (Scattered mostly marginal spotting and on guards.) Publisher's original blind-stamped cloth, upper side titled in gilt, gilt edges, white moiré silk endpapers (extremities rubbed, light soiling).
RARE. The first revised (first English) edition of one of the earliest and most comprehensive works of photographic ethnology. The eminent Oxford anthropologist, Edward Burnett Tylor, reviewing the first edition in Nature, described it as 'one of the most important contributions made to the science of man' (1876, pp.184-5). Originally published in German and in large folio, this smaller-format edition reached a much broader audience, affording rare glimpses of foreign cultures. Edwards, Anthropology and Photography 1860-1920 (1992), pp. 55, 57.
