Original grey cloth, black lettering, cloth slipcases Based on the Researches & Writings of Carl Schuster. Edited & Written by Edmund Carpenter. Assisted by Lorraine Spiess. A cornerstone of comparative anthropology, mythology, and art history. This monumental work draws on the vast ethnographic record assembled by American art historian Carl Schuster (1904-1969). Schuster died suddenly of cancer, leaving the material unpublished. Carpenter spent nearly two decades editing Schuster's archive into this twelve-volume synthesis. The result is an epic survey of visual and mythic patterns: from Paleolithic Europe to the tribal societies of Oceania, the Americas, and Africa. Issued privately in a very small edition distributed directly to museums and researchers Materials for the Study of Social Symbolism is likely the most comprehensive documentation and analysis of traditional symbolism ever published. Very minor discolouration to spines. Very minor soil to upper board of Vol 3:3, and extremely minor to edges of 2:4 and 2:5.
