The Land of Poco Tiempo (Illustrated edition)
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1925. First Illustrated Edition. Octavo. Item #028586
310 pages. The author's appreciation for the people with whom he lived with was reviewed as disgusting by many of the original readers in 1893 but the illustrations help to see the point though the penitente ceremoniest of the crucifixion which originally led to death or severe crippling now substituted being tied to the cross without the use of nails. Many illustrations of the Tigua girls, the culture of weaving, the mysteries of Acoma, the pentitente ceremony and other previously neglected sites. F.W. Hodge and other anthropologists had the highest regard for the work of Lummis. A beautiful copy bound in brown cloth, lettered, and decorated in gilt, green and black to upper board and spine, previous owner's name on front pastedown. A fine bright sharp cornered copy in a near fine unclipped pictorial dust jacket with one closed edge teat to front panel and light chipping to spine ends.
