Gutes Ex.; Einband gering berieben. - Englisch. - Ausschließlich s/w-Illustrationen. - PREFACE - The Borno State Arts Council is to foster, Encourage and promote the History, Art and Culture of the State; and one way is through publication of litera-ture on Arts and Culture. This pictorial publication is an introduction to a series of research publications the council hopes to make on the state's history, art and culture. Remember, seeing is a direct experience and the use of visual data to report information is the closest one can get to the true nature of reality. The council wants therefore to take you through this pictorial publication to see some selective Borno Culture as interpreted by the artists and each of these societal groups. Promotion of Culture is a "joint enterprise", in that all members of the community should feel that their culture is their way of life and that its survival depends on the enthusiastic support from all members of the community. With this view, the council would appreciate any additional and suggestive contributions towards the improvement of other future publications from our readers.
