Sobre este artículo
(Johannesburg: Ad. Donker, 1976). 8vo; original green boards; pictorial dustwrapper; pp. 189, incl. index; monochrome illustrations. Dustwrapper very slightly edgeworn, and sunned on spine panel and adjacent portion of lower panel; earlier owner's name signed on front free endpaper; trace of foxing to top edge and outermost leaves, occasional fox spot elsewhere. Very good condition. "Africana Byways edited by Anna H. Smith is a sequel to Africana Curiosities which was published in 1973. In eight chapters a similar amount of topics is dealt with, all subjects of interest to the Africana collector. Topics are: history of photographs and their place in South African history; pictures by some South African churchmen of the nineteenth century; reprints of Africana books; botanical illustration of South African flowers; Johannesburg newspapers and periodicals during the years 1887 to 1899; book-plates; arts and crafts of the Transvaal Ndebele; and early South African cartoons. There are over thirty illustrations to the text as well as an index." .
