What reading level is Congo Natives; An Ethnographic Album book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The carefully woven, flat-topped, cylindrical chief's hat is characteristic, (b) Scars of valor; Ntumba, Ikoko. Two men of ten try a test of endurance; taking knives, such as is here shown in the right hand, they place themselves in the attitude of embrace and strike each other in the back, endeavoring to inflict serious and painful wounds; the man who receives the most gashes before giving up is the best man.
Men are proud of such gash-scars as proof of their endurance.
Plate XLVI.— (a) Dancer...s of the fish-dance, Ikoko. The group pictured consists 24 only of boys; adults had also participated in the dance. Notice garments of leaves, feathers in the hair, and the two kinds of drums. One of these is the standing drum, a hollowed cylinder upon three feet, with a membrane stretched across the top; the other is the hori- zontal block, hollowed out through the narrow longitudinal slit at top. (b) Fetich; Ntumba, Ikoko. A little heap under a shelter.
Plate XL VII. — (a) Mother of twins; Ntumba, Ikoko.
