144 pages, profusely illustrated throughout in colour, brick red paper-covered boards, a very good copy in the dust jacket.

‘Rock Paintings of South Africa: Revealing the Legacy is a visual record for posterity of one of South Africa’s most valuable cultural treasures. Each colour plate represents a meticulously painted recording by the author of a rock painting from South Africa. These recordings have been painstakingly rendered with natural pigments and materials collected in the field and are the results of months of on-site labour accurately recording what appears on the rock face. The plates reveal a wealth of details and imagery that is sometimes faded and not clearly visible to the untrained eye or through conventional or digital photography alone.’ Editor’s note.
