With 15 plates (1 in color), 275 illustrations and 3 maps. "Significant research and publication of the collection only began during A W Franks’ last years in the 1890s, after the appointment of C. H. Read to work on the Christy Collection. Two voluntary assistants at this time, James Edge-Partington and O. M. Dalton contributed to the cataloguing of the collection, particularly from Oceania. James Edge-Partington published the first major comparative introduction to Oceanic weapons, using his own collection, now in New Zealand. Dalton, who started work at the Museum in 1895, began compiling The Handbook of the Ethnographical Collection, eventually published in 1910. This guide was completed by T. A. Joyce who had joined the department in 1902. " www. britishmuseum. org Edition originale. Illustré XXe
