Scare! An eight year honeymoon for the wealthy count and his wife in the company of the San Francisco Yacht Club took them throughout the South Sea islands. Including stops in Hawaii, Tahiti, Samoa, Fiji, and Raratonga. A wealth of excellent photographs and a text exploring habits and customs (perhaps including cannibalism) of island tribes long since destroyed by western contact. Text in French. A very good copy in original boards, printed in gold.
