About
"The purpose of this volume of essays is to introduce a dozen colectors of ethnography, active between 1770 and 1990 in Britain. The stories here concern those collectors who left documentary records, and created and developed a taste for ethnographica in others. These men were rarely field collectors, and only occasional travellers. ... They were hand-on collectors for whom the pursuit, handling and possession of such objects was what mattered."--intro.
