"Land en Volk" was a newspaper started in Pretoria in 1888. Eugene Marais and J. de V. Roos bought the press in 1891, and in 1892 Marais was in sole control. In 1896 he transferred ownership to J. Y. O'Brien. Marais' first book Deeds Office Practice of the Transvaal was published by this press in 1903.
