Paul-Élie Dubois participated in the illustration of the 1934 edition from his series of views of the Hoggar. Provenance : Drouot, sale of December 5, 2003, n° 82. "Paul-Élie Dubois does not behave like a cold and precise ethnologist. His contact with these people is above all emotional, it corresponds to a permanent wonderment in front of their customs marked by simplicity. (...) More than a painter traveler Paul-Élie Dubois is a missionary painter who did not usurp his titles of "Painter of Hoggar" or "Ambassador of Hoggar". Maurice Genevoix of the French Academy.
