How it works

Register

166 pages, frontispiece, map, many illustrations from photographs, line drawings and plans of buildings, grey cloth, dust jacket.

The period covered, 1652 to 1833, is one in which the most important towns of the Cape were laid out and the finest buildings and craftsmanship produced. Under the Dutch in the eighteenth century and the English in the early nineteenth century, town planning, civic and domestic architecture and furniture in South Africa reached a standard which has made this country deservedly world famous and I have endeavoured to describe and illustrate the work then done.\' Author\'s preface.
