How it works

Register

Unsurprisingly, Johannes Meintjes, Molteno's own prolific author, in English and Afrikaans, and painter, was chosen to write the history of this Stormberg town on the occasion of its centenary. He had also written the commentary to his own selection of Molteno's photographer's photographs in A Lomax. Portret van 'n S A Dorp.

Blue cloth-boards with the Molteno coat of arms gilt-embossed on the upper panel and gilt titling to the spine. Plain endpapers. xii + 173 pp of text, bibliography and index + frontispiece and a 24 pp inserted heavy art-paper section of monochrome photographs.

There are some white rubbing spots on the covers and corners (see images) but the contents are unmarked and undiscoloured.
