CONDITION. The dustjacket is missing its tipped-in illustration but is retained because of the interesting information on the flaps and the details of six other Balkema titles, including the valuable Tabulae Geographicae Coloniae Bonae Spei. The binding is fine. The fore-edge of the front free endpaper and verso and the next leaf are lightly stained. The frontispiece is fine. The title-page is lightly sunned in register with the frontispiece. The contents, including the reproductions of Elliots photographs, are complete, fine, unmarked and undiscoloured.
