A lavish photographic survey of Cape Colony Natal Orange Free State and the Transvaal Republic with a particular focus on the 'scenery gold and diamond mining districts and mines seaports and the native industries and life of South Africa' from the foreword. <p>This copy has the additional interest and value of a large albumen silver photograph 205 × 282 mm mounted on the verso of the front free endpaper acting as a frontispiece. the margin below the plate is captioned '"Tweedie Hall" Natal Taken by the architect while the house was being built in 1892'. Jacqueline Kalley's book 'Farmhouses of Old Natal' records that the house was built by James and Eliza Morton and the name comes from Tweedie Hall in Scotland where they were married. They arrived at Port Natal in 1868 purchased a farm and over time acquired some 12000 acres of land. Morton sold agricultural machinery and built the first silos in Natal. The grand house was designed by the prolific Natal architect William Street-Wilson; it survives to this day and is currently owned by a great-grandson of the Mortons.

1875190005London: Printed by Wertheimer Lea and Co. 1875. One of the most elusive books on the South African diamond rush First edition rare just six locations among institutional libraries all in South Africa; one copy only on auction records. This compelling firsthand account traces an overland journey from Cape Town through Stellenbosch the Great Karoo and key frontier towns before reaching the diamond fields of Kimberley. The author has evaded identification. Mendelssohn suggests in the typescript "Additions" to his bibliography that the author may be Mary Elizabeth Barber 1818-1899 poet and natural historian; although she accompanied her husband and family to the diamond fields from the Eastern Province whereas the writer of this work travelled from the Cape. However South Africa historian Alfred Graham-Brown doesn't hesitate in attributing it to her see The Settlers' Press: Seventy years of printing in Grahamstown 1979. WorldCat and the South African Bibliography cite copies at the following libraries: Mendelssohn Library South African Library now National Library of South Africa Johannesburg Public library University of the Witwatersrand Kimberley Public Library and University of Pretoria. Octavo pp. 54. Original green cloth gilt lettered and panelled on front cover blind panelled on back pale yellow coated endpapers.
