About This Item
(Cape Town: Struik Lifestyle, 2021) 9781432310042. 4to; laminated pictorial boards; pictorial endpapers; pp. 304; map; lavishly illustrated with full-colour photographs. Fine condition. "Through a series of superb photo-essays, this majestic place is revealed as a land where conservation and neglect are seldom far apart, where one town boasts splendidly restored buildings, while along a dusty road a forgotten village waits for ... something. Perhaps a renewal, or a slow death? ... Hidden Karoo presents a snapshot of the region as it is today, offering a glimpse into towns and villages, farms and churches, public buildings and private homes, all against a backdrop of awe-inspiring landscapes. Through words and pictures, it prompts us to consider what was, what is and what might be." .
