    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.
