Publisher's original brown cloth binding with gilt titles on front panel and spine.
27 pages of text followed by 4 colour and 70 black & white reproductions.
Binding sound. Corners sharp. Internally clean. At the bottom of page 17 there is a curious instance of dropped quads and leads (the vertical and horizontal spacers used between words and lines during typesetting). Dust jacket complete but in fair-only condition with age-associated wear and tear.
INSCRIBED by the artist's daughter (and only child) on the title page, "Lees dit goed. U sal die selfde liefde voel die ek van kind af vir my vader gevoel het. Marita Pierneef." (Read this well. You will feel the same love I felt for my father since childhood. Marita Pierneef.)
The first monograph on one of South Africa's most important artists, Jacob Hendrik Pierneef. This is the first English edition published in 1947.
