He died in mysterious circumstances near Madeira, with records stating that he was lost overboard. He was a rival to Cecil Rhodes, another mining magnate and Prime Minister of Cape Colony from 1890 to 1896 to whom he sold his stake in Kimberley the diamond mine. Rhodes went on to form De Beers.Banarto's son later bankrolled W. O. Bentley in their Le Mans winning period. In the publisher's original binding.Illustrated with six full plate photographs including a frontispiece and four full plate cartoons. In a full cloth binding. Externally very smart, minor wear to the spine and bumping to the head and tail. Internally, firmly bound.
