Photographs from the Arthur Elliott collection in the Cape Archives. Compiled and introduced by Hans Fransen. 221 pages with 289 pictures portrayed. The Elliott collection is one of the most remarkable photographic collections in the world. The qualities that make his photographs of old Cape scenes so memorable have something to do with the way the sunlught strikes the irregularity of white plastedred walls; something also with the way Elliott introduced the human element into his photographs; but mostly with the way his camera conveyed that delicate balance between picturesque dilapidation and unselfconscious prosperity that used to characterise Cape domestic architecture.
