Sobre este item
Lyon and Paris: A. Rey and Librairie J.B.-Bailliere et Fils, 1915. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. Report on the first modern excavations at the large rock shelter of La Colombiere, near Poncin, Ain, some 30 miles southwest of Geneva. Representative of the Magdalenian culture (12,000 to 17,000 years ago), the site yielded flint tools, the fossil remains of various mammals, and period engravings. The most significant of these was a large fragment of mammoth bone on which are engraved human figures - believed to be the first prehistoric anthropomorphic representations ever discovered. Octavo: 205 p. with 102 figures and 25 double-page plates. In a period one-quarter brown morocco over marbled paper binding, with gilt stamping, five raised bands, marbled endpapers, and a ribbon marker. The spine is a touch sun faded; else very good or better.
