Congres International D'Anthropologie & D'Archeologie Prehistoriques and L'Anthropologie Paraissant Tous Les Deux Moi
Bruxelles, Belgium, Multiple, . First Edition. Hardcover. Size: Large 8vo 9" - 10. The following tomes came from the personal library of Amour-Auguste-Louis-Joseph Berthelot, Baron de Baye, born January 31, 1853 in Paris, died in the same city on August 21, 1931, a French archaeologist and traveler and who even contributed to one of the volumes (see below). A French-language Wikipedia article about him has it that "Joseph" was the son of Auguste and Georgina Wilkinson of British origin. Wealthy enough to escape the rigors of military service, he eventually "discovered" archaeology when on a hunt with his father. He began a collection of cut flint from the Plateau de la Vieille Andecy and began real studies at the end of 1871, and was eventually tutored by Father Alphonse Borde (1824-1899). He participated first in an archaeological congress in Moscow, in 1890, and continued to do so until the declaration of the First World War. Arrested twice and eventually imprisoned, he was released in 1920 following the intervention of Natalia Sedova, Trostky's second wife. He enjoyed a long and distinguished career in archaeology and became president of the Societe des Antiquaires de France in 1906.
