TAYLOR (Colin F.) THE INDIANS OF NORTH AMERICA: Myths and Customs. Paris, Inter-Livres, 1995. Large quarto (approx. 31 × 24 cm), 176 pp., illustrated hardcover by the publisher. Extensive black-and-white and color illustrations: old photographs, portraits, scenes from daily life, ethnographic objects, works of art, maps, and historical documents, often in full-page or double-page spreads. The BnF confirms this French edition published by Inter-Livres in 1995, translated by Catherine Bednarek. French edition of a book by Colin F. Taylor, a specialist in Native American cultures, devoted to the myths, beliefs, customs, and traditions of the indigenous peoples of North America. The book organizes its study according to the major North American cultural regions, ranging from the peoples of the Arctic and subarctic regions to the Plains, Southwest, California, and Pacific Coast Native Americans. Its extensive collection of historical photographs is its main attraction. The English-language reference work on which it is based also follows this nine-region approach and includes numerous archival documents. Copy in generally good condition. Slightly scuffed and yellowed illustrated cloth binding, with a few small marks and stains, more noticeable on the back cover; corners slightly worn. Interior clean and well-preserved, based on the photographs provided.
