Posthumously published edition of researches by Knut Hjalmar Stolpe (1841-1905), director of the Ethnographical Museum in Stockholm, on textile design and other ornamental objects in North America, South America, Africa, and the Arctic. This copy is inscribed by the ethnographer and Africanist Gerhard Lindblom, to Count Eric von Rosen, who had been a student of Stolpe.

Incidentally, von Rosen's wife's sister married Hermann Göring.
