Seller's Description:
Good. No Jacket. 173 pages (complete). Signed by Frederick Jeppe on the half-title page as a previous owner. Jeppe was instrumental in the mapping of the Transvaal (he produced the first maps), and as Paymaster General he had the first stamps produced and the first rail mailing system installed. His sense of loyalty to the Boer republic was fluid and he supplied the British with information throughout his time with the South African Republic and until his death. Included is an untrimmed (ex-libris? ) print of the Clan Kilpatrick arms. Please note that the folded map at the rear is missing. A generously owned copy. The red boards are worn, scuffed, marked by handling and storage, all about. They are secure and steady. The contents have much evidence of contented use throughout. They bear the years with equanimity. Whilst the pages have marks, the (fascinating) photographic plates are clear, not in the least dulled. Occasionally the small decoration at the end of the chapters, were idly hand-coloured by a previous reader/ owner. Despite the age and user marks and wear (mild) the pages are sure, clean, clear, convivial, genial, bold, amenable, engaging. fk.
