Mon sang dans tes veines by Josephine Baker (Signed)Mon sang dans tes veines (My Blood in Your Veins) was conceived by Josephine Baker and written by Pepito Abatino, her long-time manager and lover, and Felix Camara. The novel published at the height of Baker’s fame as a cultural diva, articulates her humanitarian ideals and unique vision of universalism - the main character, a young mulatto girl, selflessly saves the life of a Boston millionaire’s son through a blood transfusion.
The book is beautifully illustrated by the Russian-born artist Georges de Pogedaieff (1894 -1971) with head pieces for each chapter, and 6 black-and-white plates. The very attractive front cover depicts Josephine Baker with the title fitted within the contour of her face. £950.00 |
