2 volumes : 216 and 131 pages, numerous photographs, sketches and plans, green cloth boards with blind decoration and title gilt on the upper covers, titled gilt on the spines, a good set in the dust jackets.
Extracted from the Foreword to Volume 2: The first volume published in 1933 showed South African architecture of the older school, though here and there the modern note crept in, this slim second volume is more valuable in that it depicts a transitional year and gives a faithful record of advanced expressions as well as those which still cling to tradition.
Whilst the author indicated his intention to publish further volumes only these two were issued and are particularly difficult to find together.
