Both volumes in good well taken condition please refer to photos for quality.
a significant but controversial two-volume Victorian-era books (c. 1870-1871) that cataloged non-Western cultures from a deeply Eurocentric, colonial perspective, presenting them as "primitive" through detailed, often biased ethnography, illustrations, and pseudoscientific theories, now viewed as historically important for understanding 19th-century racial views but problematic for its exoticism and justification of imperialism.
While containing useful (though biased) anthropological data and vivid imagery, the book serves as a powerful example of how "science" and "ethnography" were used to support imperial ideologies, making it a critical resource for understanding historical biases rather than a neutral guide to global cultures.
