Guy Butler( Edited) The 1820 Settlers-An Illustrated Commentary 24.5 X 30.5cm This book, devised and written by a team of acknowledged authorities on the history of English speaking South Africa, recounts the sometimes dramatic history of this large group of settlers. Chapters are of two kinds, attempting rather different things : first, those which aim to keep the reader aware of the large social and historical context of which the 1820 Settlement is part: second. accounts of the struggles of the Settlers themselves, viewed at close quarters, and using their own words where possible. The value of the text is greatly enhanced by nearly 350 illustrations, many of which have not been published before. These have been chosen from contemporary sources, or from photographs of relics or buildings which have survived. The captions do more than describe the pictures, they provide important information not in the text itself. Illustrated endpapers-Colour tipped Frontispiece- 366 pages text with supporting photographs and illustrations. Light chips to dustcover edges. Contents very clean.

First edition: 545 pages, tinted lithographic frontispiece, 15 tinted lithographic plates, numerous wood engravings in the text, large folding map, half maroon morocco, light red cloth sides, top edge gilt, marbled edges, light foxing on the plates, overall a very good copy. Mendelssohn (Sydney) South African Bibliography, volume 1, pages 41. `The narratives describe two expeditions, one in which the author was accompanied by Mr Francis Galton which extended to Nangoro`s Werft in the Ovampo country and the other when he travelled by himself to Lake Ngami. The courage and endurance of the explorers were remarkable, and their sufferings from the dearth of water were at times very terrible. Few, if any books give so full and complete an account of Namaqualand, Damaraland, and the Ovampo country and the description of the fauna of these countries is absolutely unequalled. Galton sailed for England in early 1852 and Andersson commenced his journey to Lake Ngami in the early part of 1853, reaching the lake about the middle of the same year. He gives descriptive accounts of the ostrich, giraffe, rhinoceros and other animals and a full description of the native races.` This is Andersson`s major work and great care was taken over its publication. The tinted lithographs were executed by Joseph Wolfe and printed by Hanhart. Its success was somewhat overshadowed by Livingstone who had returned from Africa towards the end of 1856 and by the publication of his Missionary Travels the following year. It nevertheless ran to two impressions in 1856 and an American edition with wood engravings instead of the lithographs the following year.

Headquarters in King William`s Town. In 1875, accompanied by Capt. Glascott of the same Regiment, Major Stabb made a hunting trip through the Transvaal and Matabeleland with the Victoria Falls as their aim. They started on 27th March, with a wagon drawn by a span of twelve oxen, and well equipped for travel and hunting, at a cost of about £600; they were assisted by two soldier-servants, Wood and Harrison, and a wagon driver, a drunken and careless Hottentot called Scheeper. Major Stabb kept a diary during this trip, and accurately wrote down all that befell him and his companion in the course of their travels. He tells about their hunting experiences, the places they visited and the inhabitabts they met. His observations on Lobengula and on the habits and customs of the European aborigines of Matabeleland and Northern Bechuanaland have historical value.

Condition Report: Overall the tea set looks in good order, however there are a few small issues. There is overall light surface scratching and minor denting to both the tea pot and jug and all three items have a crease to the base rim [due to being dropped?]. The hinge and handle appear firm, the gauge fairly thick and the hallmarks clear.
