Sobre este artículo
Washington, D.C. National Geographic Society, [1919]. Oblong 4to. 11 x 9 in. 24 leaves, printed on thick glossy paper stock, w/ photo & colour illustrations on recto of each leaf (slight shelfwear, rubbing), still NF set preserved in original printed envelope with instructional information, and stamp “Sahara Life” on recto (minor creasing, edgewear, former ownership ink markings). First edition of this scarce set of plates designed for geography classroom use following World War I, filled with text by Burrall (1883-1960) to increase geographical literacy of children as well as promote the ideas of preparing American youths to assume the role of a “World Power.” This set focuses on an Arab bedouin tribe and a young woman named Machla, featuring photographs by Lehnert & Landrock, and Bougalt, including desert life, Tunisia, and concluding with view of Timbuktu in Mali. Worldcat ostensibly locates 5 surviving Sahara Life in Africa portfolios (at least 2 are microfilm copies); See: Katie Good, Bring the World to the Child: Technologies of Global Citizenship in American Education (2020), pp. 44-47, 227-228.
