ANTHROPOLOGY

Masques Primitifs is a neat book I found at the Newberry Library Book Fair several years back for $2. It contains about 30 or so pictures of ancient masks from around the world. Written and photographed by I.L. Schneider, published in 1951.

These are some good ones, (unfortunately they are not dated):

(Haida People - Pacific Northwest/ Alaska)

CHICAGO: THE WAYSTATION IN TIME

"The home park of the big soap-chip and sausage-stuffing tycoons, the home cave of the juke-box giants and the mail-order dragons, the knot that binds the TV waves to the airlanes and the railroad ties to the sea, but also the psychological nerve center where the pang goes deepest when the whole country is grinding its teeth in a nightmare sleep."
