Sobre este artículo
(Cape Town: the author, 1981) 0620049170. Small 4to; original black boards, lettered in gilt on spine; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pp. 164, incl. index; colour plates after De Smidt's paintings; numerous monochrome illustrations in text. Dustwrapper's spine panel sunned; earlier owners' bookplate (Faith and Walter Middelmann) to front pastedown. Near fine condition. "De Smidt was a topographical draughtsman of the first order and many of his picturesque South African landscapes and panoramic views reflect his arduous journeys as a surveyor. His works are imbued with romantic sentiments largely as a result of an early visit to Europe and the appeal of the sublime grandeur of Switzerland, and he was a keen painter of scenes in England, Scotland and Wales. In this book there is a catalogue of paintings known to the author, of which 26 are reproduced in colour and 30 in black and white. There are a further 47 illustrations in black and white." .
