A propos de cet article

Original publisher's brown wrapper backed with black cloth. Red and blue decorative stripes on front cover. Bound by the Angwin Book Bindery. 6 5/8" x 9 5/8." Pages 319-344, complete. Black and white illustrations and reprinted black and white photographs, complete. Pages and covers are very clean and intact. Binding is tight. In the upper-left corner of the front cover are numbers handwritten in pen. Green stamp is on the front cover and faintly on the first page that says, "John F.

Jamaica is natural: the towns are overwhelmed by mountains, jungle, sea; nothing can overcome its vehement beauty. Haiti is African; Antigua is the American West; Martinique is a beautiful hodge-podge, like an Eastern bazaar. In Trinidad there is something of all of them. The Crossroads island is one of those lands which has lost a personality of its own to assume the character of the earth.". …
