Description

FIRST EDITION of this groundbreaking study of the Congo under French and Belgian domination. 2 leaves; 95 pp. Like Roger Casement, Mille and Challaye denounce the treatment of the natives in the French (Brazzaville) and Belgian (Leopoldville, later Kinshasha) Congos. ONE OF ONLY THIRTEEN (13) LARGE-PAPER COPIES PRINTED ON FINE HANDMADE WHATMAN WOVE PAPER. (The regular edition was printed on cheap paper.) This is copy number 4, printed for George Bellew (?--Name partially effaced, but certainly visible under ultraviolet light). 8vo. Original wraps. A bit of dust to extreme margins, else UNCUT, UNOPENED, FINE AND BRIGHT. One of the great early documents on human rights violations in Africa, and extremely rare in this state.
