Oh, cool. This reminds me that years ago I found the original book at a used book store for only 40.- bucks, because the cover was damaged...so I did not buy it, only to find that it is now unaffordable.

Also very nice are his Marquesan illustrations in the book club edition of Melville's "Typee"...some of them influenced by his Bali work.

I also wonder if Covarrubias' Balinese portraits inspired Tretchikoff to his Exotica girl series.
