This attractive volume was researched by its authors over a seven-year period and published to mark the centenary of this West Coast port.
The dustjacket, which reproduces an 1876 engraving, is printed in two colours on heavy grained stock. It is rubbed and chipped, especially at the spine and the corners; inside it is sunned at the spine and moisture stained at the upper right and at the foot of the spine. The white cloth-board covers, gilt to the front and spine carry a mirror of the jacket stains. The binding is sound. The illustrated endpapers feature an unattributed reversed map of Africa. The 197 pp of text are illustrated throughout with maps, sketches and photographs.
