(I'm not sure that this is the correct cover--isn't that a portrait of Janet Flanner? Not sure what she'd have to do with the special theme of this issue.)

    Hey, just wanting to confirm that, as you suspected, that is definitely not the correct cover for the special Africa issue of HoP.

    The cover for this issue has an oval-cropped portrait of two young women dressed in white lace and wearing opulent jewelry, posed with their hands pressed palm-to-palm, from the photo library of the CRDS (Centre de recherches et de documentation du Senegal) in Saint-Louis, Senegal. Photographer unknown; date very approximately interwar period (ca. 1930s).

    I don’t know how to get the right jpg to you however, unless it is by writing directly to the eds?

    Peace.
