Publisher's illustrated card covers. 55 pages. Front panel illustrated by renowned South African artist Walter Battiss, this being one of his earliest book illustrations! The play takes place during the Boer War and is therefore equally important as Africana as it is to the Boer War genre.

The Special Collections Department of the UJ library acquired Eugène Marais’s autographed manuscript Nag: 'n drama in vier bedrywe in 2012 through antiquarianauctions at a selling price of $11,000. The play was written on unlined small pages of a cloth bound exercise book. It was found after Marais’s death amongst his unpublished writings.

Some of the usual wear along the edges of the wraps where they extend over the text block. A wee bit of paper loss on rear cover. Contents clean. A good copy of this scarce work.
