Synopsis

With 146 illustrations.
Herbert Basedow (1881–1933) was an Australian anthropologist, geologist, politician, explorer and medical practitioner. Basedow was born in Kent Town, South Australia. His early education was in Adelaide, South Australia and Hanover, Germany. After finishing his schooling, he studied science at the University of Adelaide where he majored in geology. He later completed postgraduate studies at several European universities and undertook some medical work in Europe. During his working life, Basedow took part in many major geological, exploratory and medical relief expeditions to central and northern Australia. On these expeditions, he took photographs and collected geological and natural history specimens and Aboriginal artefacts. He was one of the few people of his time involved in recording the traditional life of Aboriginal Australians. He also actively lobbied government for better treatment of Aboriginal people and campaigned for an improvement in Aboriginal health. During his career, Basedow published widely on anthropology, geology and natural history. The Australian Aboriginal was his first book. This major anthropological work included many of Basedow’s own photographs.
