About This Item
Capetown, SA: A.A. Balkema, 1971. pp. xii + 259 (including index); black-and-white and colour photographs; drawings of old buildings. Some mild foxing, particularly to dustwrapper, prelims and endpapers. Very good internally in a good dustwrapper. "Pretoria's history is comparatively recent. It was once the capital of Kruger's Republic, a time of turbulence and insecurity; and it was the Western outpost of what in those times were the wilds of Africa. The houses and public buildings that have remained from that period are interesting from an architectural point of view because there was no local tradition or style. The visitors and settlers who were there were unusual men with strong and often eccentric personalities; the homes that they built are used by Vivien Allen as the basis for a lively and very personal history of early Pretoria.". DJ has light wear. Number of signatures on ffep.. 1st Edition. Cloth. Near Fine/Very Good+. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" Tall.
