\"To His Excellency Sir Charles B.H.Mitchell, K.C.M.G., Governor of Natal (South Africa) The following Collection of Sketches of Durban and its Harbour, is respectfully dedicated by The Artist.\"
A collection of 35 black and white sketches \"executed by the artist, direct from nature, in intervals of leisure, except in one or two instances only, where he has been assisted by photography.\"
Original red boards with gilt title on front cover. The boards are in rather worn condition, with wear to spine ends and corners (some loss), corners bumped, dark discolouration of the boards due to handling, floral-patterned end-papers good, paper quality is poor, resulting in fading, and some gatherings are loose. All sketches are in good condition and are protected by a blank, thin protective page opposite (bound in). A very scarce item.
