All over the world, native peoples have been looking for ways to prevent and treat illness. This book illustrates such traditions through a selection of colonial postcards from the early 20th century. These cards are a rich source of visual information about native health and healing, which has been largely overlooked. The book accompanies an exhibition in the Tropenmuseum.
