Blurb for the English edition: "This pioneering history examines the major themes and accomplishments in African art from the past fifty years, achieving an impressive balance between the critical reexamination of frequently discussed artists, groups and workshops and the introduction of less publicized or more recent material. Postcolonial art in Africa has built seamlessly upon already existing structures in which the older, precolonial and colonial genres of African art were made. It is in this sense, and in the habits and attitudes of artists towards making art, rather than in any adherence to a particular style, medium, technique, or thematic range, that the art is recognizably 'African'.

"The first letter, written over a period of one month, covers the siege [of Ladysmith]. The second letter, written after the siege had been lifted, was sent from Intombi Camp, situated beside the railway four miles south-east of Ladysmith. By agreement between General White and Boer Commandant-General Joubert, the first sick and wounded had been permitted to leave Ladysmith for Intombi Camp on Sunday, November 5. It was here that Alfred Markham was treated for enteric fever before being invalided back to England. After a period of some months' convalescence, he returned to South Africa, where he joined his company in the Eastern Transvaal. The third and fourth letters, addressed from Lydenburg and Middelburg, cover this period. It was in Middelburg that the first (unsuccessful) peace… Read More

Small 4to; original blue boards, lettered in silver gilt on spine; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pp. 224, incl. index; maps; reproductions of contemporary photographs and artwork. Trace of very light foxing. Very good condition. "This epic siege, which lasted from October 1899 to early March 1900, and the story of the battles to bring about Ladysmith's eventual relief, is the theme of this enthralling book. Utilizing much hitherto unpublished information from contemporary sources in both Britain and South Africa, Ruari Chisholm tells the complete story of the campaign. He sees it not only as a military affair, consisting of battles, bombardments, attacks and counter attacks, but also a case study of human behaviour, Boer and British, soldier and civilian." .

Fine condition, in a slightly rubbed and sunned slipcase. "And so to Fathers Huc and Gabet, the only Europeans apart from Manning who certainly saw Lhasa in the whole of the nineteenth century. In contrast to their immediate European antecedents in Tibet, Huc and Gabet were not interested in trade or politics. They came in search of converts and, to this extent, belong to a much earlier tradition of pioneers. ... Though charged with the same zeal for conversions, Huc and Gabet showed none of the bigotry of their clerical predecessors. They were willing to conform to Tibetan ways, to seek out common ground in matters of doctrine and ritual, and to acknowledge piety in whatever guise. ... But what sets… Read More
