The larger booklet is the Summer 1959 edition of the journal of The Museum of Primitive Art, giving an in-depth look at the works on view in the exhibition held May to September of that year, for which the second, smaller booklet is the catalogue, listing each work with a brief annotation. Introductory essay in the larger book is by Gordon F. Ekholm; identifications of the stones for the catalogue were made by Charles H. Behre. Nice to have these two volumes together for the complete idea of what the exhibition entailed. Includes OCLC numbers 928271429, 965763206.
