MARAN, Rene (Miguel COVARRUBIAS). BATOUALA. New York: Limited Editions 
Club, 1932. Small folio (8-1/2" x 13") bound in full blind-stamped brown 
leather. Copy #1205 of 1500 with beautiful line drawings and color 
illustrations by Miguel Covarrubias and SIGNED by the artist on the 
colophon page. The first African novel to portray Black Africans as they 
are and not as white men in blackface. One of the more attractive early 
titles from the press, not often found in acceptable condition let alone 
as nice as this copy with the leather still supple and bright. A 
tasteful bookplate on the front pastedown might be seen as the only 
defect. Fine in a Fine slipcase.         $450.00
