Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. 381 pages : illustrations (chiefly colour), 1 colour map ; 24 x 28 cm. Summary:"Horses are very rare in Africa. The few to be found west of Sudan, from the lands of the Sahara and Sahel down to the fringes of the tropical forests, belong to the king, the chief warrior and to notable persons. Due to the dense humidity of the tropical rainforest and the deadly tsetse fly, only restricted numbers of horses survive. And yet rider and mount sculptures are common among the Dogon, Djenne, Bamana, Senufo and the Yoruba people. The Akan-Asante people of Ghana and the Kotoko of Chad produced a good deal of small casting brass and bronze sculptures. Some of the artists could barely even have caught a glimpse of a horse. This visually stunning book presents a wealth of African art depicting the horse and its rider in a variety of guises, from Epa masks and Yoruba divination cups to Dogon sculptures and Senufo carvings. In Mali, the Bamana, Boso and Somono ethnic groups still celebrate the festivals of the puppet masquerade. The final chapter of this book is dedicated to the art and cult of these festivals, which are still alive and well. It is not the habit of the African artist to provide intellectual statements for his work, yet his unique creative dynamic and far-searching vision does not conflict with that of his Western counterpart. It is fair to state that the African, who though not educated in Western art history, contributed his fair share to the shaping of modern art. Features works from museums in both Africa and Europe, including the Musée Royal de L'Afrique Central, Tervuren in Belgium; Afrika Museum, Berg en Dal, Netherlands; Musée du quai Branly, Paris; Museum Rietberg, Zurich; The British Museum, London; Museu National de Antologia, Lisbon and National Museum, Lagos, Nigeria.".

On 18 October 1851 the Duke married as his third wife his first cousin Jane Francis Clinton Stewart (1818-1897), daughter of the Honourable Edward Richard Stewart and granddaughter of John Stewart, 7th Earl of Galloway. The recipient would appear to a near-relation of the Duchess, as her address is the town-house of the Duchess's mother, Lady Katherine Stewart (d.1863), at 9 Bryanston Square, who is referred to at the start of the letter. 2pp., 12mo. In good condition, lightly aged. 33 lines of closely-written text. He writes that 'Lady Katherine' left a memorandum with him that afternoon, from which it appears 'that if The Duchess of Marlborough dies leaving only one Child, that Child will inherit £20,000 only of the £30000 comprised in the Marriage Settlement, and the remaining £10000 of The Duchess's share of the Berry Grove Farm will go, one half to the Duke and the other half to such persons as The Duchess may choose to appoint to.' He would have to see 'the Settlement or an Abstract of it' to be able to tell 'whether the Duchess's half will then go to the Duke in his marital right, or to The Duchess's Child, or to her Next of Kin as if she had died without having been married'. He continues with a short paragraph on the matter, before concluding that 'It will be better perhaps to say nothing about it while the Duchess is at Blenheim, but it will be well to bear it in mind if she comes to Bryanston Square and I can see her without exciting suspicion'.
