This now classic book by Hans Fransen (then curator of the Stellenbosch Museum) presents perhaps the liveliest annotated collection of Elliott's architectural photographs of the Western Cape.
Grey buckram-boards, gilt to upper panel. Plain endpapers. Frontispiece + vi + 343 pp of illustrated text and index on art paper. The arrangement is a full-page plate on the right and the plate number, location and description on the left.
The images show a small selection of Elliott's much-admired early-twentieth-century photographs. The Elliott Collection, comprising some 10,000 mainly uncaptioned and undated prints and negatives, is housed in the Archives in Cape Town.
Our copy lacks the dustjacket. We have repaired the torn spine and rubbed corners with a new half-binding of grey Skivertex spine and corners (while retaining the original sides), with new lettering to the spine. Also new are plain endpapers and head and tail bands.
The contents are complete, unmarked and fine.
