CHICAGO SUNDAY TRIBUNE, July 21, 1929

* German Inner Africa Research Expeditions (9th)
* Archaeologist & ethnologist Leo Frobenius


The top of page 11 has a one column heading: "SCIENTIST FINDS ANCIENT EMPIRE RELICS IN AFRICA" with subhead. (see)
Complete 1st section only with 22 pages, rag edition in great condition.

wikipedia notes: The ninth expedition ran between August 1928 and March 1930 in Southern Africa. It visited parts of modern-day South Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia and Zambia. It recorded a large quantity of indigenous rock art, which helped Leo Frobenius to build one of the most important collections of such work, some of which was sold to South African museums. It also investigated ancient ore mines and provided samples for some of the first metallographic and chemical analysis of southern African indigenous metals.
