About This Item
(Cape Town, Purnell & Sons S.A., 1977). 4to; original brown boards; pictorial dustwrapper, creased and worn on edges; pictorial endpapers; pp. 80 including index, numerous black-and-white and colour photographs. Dustwrapper excepted, very good condition. "The Africana Museum was once aptly described as 'the City of Johannesburg's Treasure Chest'. Today it has become the cultural treasure of the people of South Africa. In its sadly limited space within the walls of the Johannesburg Library it houses some of the historic relics of the people of all races who have helped to build the Republic. ... The great problem of all such museums is space. The Africana Museum can display only a fraction of its treasures. The rest are stored and brought out and displayed only occasionally. This book by Anna Smith, who helped to make the museum what it is today, draws aside the curtain to reveal some of these treasures and to tell you how they were acquired." .
