Hugest of Baskets
Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A one-page 1912 magazine item with a photograph of very large storage baskets in villages of central Africa, said to hold about half a ton (1,000 pounds) of corn each. The text is mostly racially prejudiced commentary of the period about the eating and drinking habits of the people, with little on basket construction or materials. It is of interest mainly as a historical example of how African basketry was presented in early twentieth-century popular press.
