A rare 1932 limited “De Luxe Edition” of Curious Byways of Anthropology: Sexual Savage and Esoteric Customs of Primitive Peoples by Élisée Reclus, privately printed by Robin Hood House, New York.
This unusual early 20th-century anthropological work explores cultural rituals, sexuality, and social customs documented in historical ethnographic studies. Books from Robin Hood House were produced in limited private printings and circulated among collectors interested in anthropology, social history, and esoteric subjects.
This edition is noted as a De Luxe printing limited to 1,000 copies, making it a desirable collectible as well as an intriguing decorative volume for a study, library, or curiosity cabinet.
Bound in textured gray cloth with a minimalist printed title label on the front cover, the book has a restrained, modernist design that displays beautifully on shelves or styled stacks of vintage books. A distinctive and conversation-starting volume for collectors of vintage anthropology, unusual academic works, or decorative antique books.
Very few markings inside. See photo.
