Take a Trip to Africa with George Eastman -SOLD-

Chronicles of a Second African Trip, by George Eastman (HC with  case, fine condition, 1987, $8)

This collection of Eastman's 1928 African trip includes 36 photos. Included is an introduction by Kenneth Cameron. His comparisons of the worlds of  Livingston and Eastman are telling. Livingston found abundant game. Eastman had problems finding anything at all to shoot. Livingston traveled through a land controlled by the indigenous populations. Eastman had to rely on the British colonial government and was denied contact with native Africans outside colonial society. So Eastman learned nothing of the people whose land he was visiting.
