How it works

Register

Large hard cover Quarto, half leather binding, and has 144 pages. This is perhaps the most impressive of the series of Africana publications produced by The Fernwood Press.

The Authors zeal in tracing the fascinating history of this truly historic estate makes the text alone praiseworthy.

Add to that her coverage of the priceless collections housed at Groote Schuur, and the magnificent photographs by Alain Proust. Finally let us praise the elegant design by Willemm Jordaan, the superb printing, and the beautiful half leather binding and slipcase by Peter Carsten’s.

All this adds up to one of the most desirable Africana productions in many a year. Of this Special Collector’s Edition signed by the author and the photographer.

Only 150 numbered copies this is number 9. It is a very good copy in a matching slipcase.
