Running to only 104 small pages (including a double centrefold), and with most of its illustrations from works in the Irma Stern Museum, this book masterfully places the artist's life and work - particularly the decade in the subtitle - in both pre- and post-Nazi as well as African contexts. Perhaps more than any other single book, "Journeys to the Interior" reinforces Irma Stern's reputation as South Africa's greatest painter.
A delightful touch is a spontaneous photograph of Stern's 1935 exhibition at the Criterion Restaurant in Johannesburg.
Although mint in all other respects, the glue of the drawn-on cover of this copy - and presumably other copies - of what is otherwise a superb production of a superb "miniature" book - has hardened in a small area at the head.
(Please note that because of an incorrect light setting, the images darken the colour of the book's paper.)
