"280. - Afrique Occidentale / Montanes du
Macina / Sépultures de Habibčs ŕ l'intérieur les plus / retirés et les plus
inaccessibles de la / falaise." showing a native boy & several skulls at the
entrance to cliff
caves
that once served as burial places for
Tellern hunter-gathers & Dogons who conquered them. Then in French
Soudan, now in Mali; surely one of the most
inaccessible places on earth. The village of Yendouma is
probably nearby at the base of these cliffs. The
terminology 'Montanes du Macina' is not in modern usage & the burial of
Habibčs tribe members as stated in the caption is
problematic at best. Despite these errors, publisher Fortier in Dakar
Sénégal counted this amongst his best views, adding advertising to the
back as follows: 'POST
CARDS / Great choice of wiews(sic) and / natives of whole / West Africa. /
COLLECTION FORTIER / on sale at FORTIER / CLOSE TO POST-OFFICE'.
Because of the errors we mention, it is not likely
that many were distributed like this. One of the best African postcards we
have ever seen, and worthy of the finest collections of French West Africa.
There is a faint small corner crease that is hard to detect from the front
because it blends in with the rocks. Sold but front
