About This Item
(Johannesburg: Chris van Rensburg, 1984) 08684632X. Oblong 4to; original brown boards; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pictorial endpapers; pp. 120; photographs, largely in colour, of animals and Bushman rock art. Some foxing to reverse of dustwrapper and outermost leaves. Good to very good condition. "In this book Bert Woodhouse (H.C. Woodhouse) has combined the Bushman folklore about animals and their pictorial records on the rocks with photographs of actual animals for comparison. In doing so, he has drawn upon his collection of some 30 000 slides accumulated over more than twenty-five years of pursuing a hobby which brings together his interest in mountain-walking, archaeology, anthropology, art and photography." .
