Anonymous Songs Of The Veld - Rare Boer War Volume Small 8vo. This first edition is an extremely rare volume of poems which first appeared in `The New Age`, a liberal and anticolonialist periodical, and published in book form in 1902. The poems leaked war time information about the atrocities committed by the British army on the civilian population, to the outside world. Those poems written by South Africans were anonymous to prevent prosecution under martial law. The South African contributors include C.Louis Leipoldt (his first published poem), Alice Greene, Betty Molteno, Anna Purcell, Dr. F.C.Kolbe and others. The book was published for the 304 subscribers listed in it, and there were probably not many more copies printed as the sentiments expressed in it were hated by the British and it was banned in South Africa. It is thus one of the very scarcest Boer War items in first edition. It is not in the Hackett Bibliography of South African War Books. It was republished in 2008 by Marthinus van Bart, jounalist for `Die Burger`. The reprint is done beautifully with a well researched commentary on the background to the book and it`s various contributors. Van Bart located 2 copies of the first edition in the archives of UCT and Stellenbosch University (the latter used for the reprint) but was unable to find one in the private sector. This copy is bound in two tone leather and is in very nice condition. The front hinge is slightly cracked but firm and there are a few very neat small pencil annotations mainly to identify the poets. A most desirable item. Very Good London New Age Press 1902 Reserve: $800 Click here to view further details and to bid

Andersson (Charles John) LAKE NGAMI 8vo (255 x 165 mm) or Explorations and Discoveries, during four years` wanderings in the wilds of South Western Africa. 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.

Gordon McGregor SIGNED: The Native Pass Tokens of German South West Africa The very same book in its first edition 1991 as well as the second edition 2013. This book provides an overview of the native pass tokens used in the colony of German West Africa. The operation of the pass token system is described in detail along with the depiction of the individual tokens. All Districts in which pass tokens were used are given together with the relevant serial numbers. The format of this book makes it convenient to use as a reference work for collectors of such tokens. Every historian serious about their research regarding the colony of German South West Africa should have this book in his library shelf. The South African Military Administration then set up a Native Affairs Office, which continued with the control of the natives using the existing German laws and system of native control and even carrying on with the issuing of tokens. As an example of this during the period June to August 1916 tokens with the number range 13760-14104 were given out to native domestic workers in Windhoek. It is presumed that blank tokens had the numbers punched on them by Native Affairs Officials, as this number range for Windhoek was never ordered from Germany. The 1991 edition is written in both English and German and is limited to 500 copies only. It has 52 pages and is in great condition. The 2013 edition is signed by McGregor, is unread and brand new with 66 pages. Splendid Windhoek Namibia Scientific Society 1991 & 2013 Reserve: $35 Click here to view further details and to bid
