The pages remain uncut. This document, which refers to an important event in the history of the Eastern Cape, is seldom seen - especially in this condition - outside research libraries and archives.

Skelton, R A (Superintendent of the Map Room of the British Museum) Explorers` Maps. Chapters in the Cartographic Record of Geographical Discovery (first edition, 1958) 250 x 195; weight 1.2 kg This ex-library copy of the first edition would benefit from rebinding as the mustard cloth-boards are rubbed and bumped, while the spine has been strengthened with clear archival tape. The binding has loosened and the once-gilt top edge has dulled to a dark blue-black. The contents, however, remain in near very good condition, despite the library spine label, stamps on the title-page and elsewhere, and sticker and pocket at the back. The plain endpapers are otherwise unmarked and sound, and the xi + 337 pp of b/w illustrated text and index and colour frontispiece, all on art paper, are unmarked and and bright. Featuring, as it does, well over two hundred maps, Skelton`s book offers many days` feasts for the armchair explorer.

Marloth (Rudolph) THE FLORA OF SOUTH AFRICA 4to (295 x 215 mm) 4 volumes in 6 parts (volumes 2 & 3 each in two parts), 180 colour plates, many plain plates, and numerous text figures (figure 59 in volume 4 missing as usual), original green cloth, bookplates on the front paste-down endpapers and corresponding small stamps below the date on the title pages. The cloth is insect scarred – this is particularly bad on volumes 1 and 4, bindings of volumes 1 and 4 are loose with some plates detached, some occasional light foxing. Marloth was an analytical chemist by profession and soon after he arrived in Cape Town in 1883 he started a herbarium of South African plants. He was devoted to the search for rare flora and he went on botanical expeditions as far afield as the Karoo, the Free State, Botswana and Namibia. The originals of the colour plates were painted in Cape Town by artists such as Ester Smith and Ethel May Dixie and printed in Germany. See Woods, `Veld and Flora`, September 1976, pp.10-11. This article also discusses the missing figure 59 concluding that as the figure was sent out after publication to be inserted very few copies are found with the missing illustration. The errant illustration was reproduced in `Veld & Flora` in June 1986 accompanied by a note by R. Geary-Cooke and a photocopy of figure 59 has been included in the set we offer here. Of Florence Phillips Woods writes, `The production of this costly and magnificent work was made possible only by the bountiful generosity of Sir Lionel and Lady Phillips, who together bore the entire cost of printing and publication. At the outset Lady Phillips had asked Marloth if he could write a popular book on South African flora, but he made it clear that it would have to be scientific. It could be said that the final result was a happy combination of both aspects.` Fair Cape Town Darter Bros. & co. 1913 -1932 Click here to view further details and to bid
