In addition to twenty-four 8 1/2 x 11" unbound images, the "African Art Portfolio" comes with a 24 page booklet that includes a brief introduction to African art and four short, well-illustrated essays that provide background information on each image. The essays' titles proclaim the portfolio's central themes: "African Art and African Ancestors," "Art of African Cities and Kingdoms," "African Masks: Forms and Uses" and "The Creativity of African Artists."
