CAPE OF GOOD HOPE OFFICIAL HANDBOOK 1886 - Rebound beautifully

Published by The Colonial and Indian Exhibition Committee

Hardcover without dustjacket in good condition. It has been rebound and is thus tight and neat. The pages have age toned, understandably due to its age but all the fold out maps are present and intact and this is a lovely copy of a result of its careful restoration.

The editor comments on the progress made by the country since the publication, eleven years previously, " of the first Descriptive Handbook of the Cape Colony." There are several coloured illustrations, including folding views of Cape Town and Table Bay, and Port Elizabeth and Algoa Bay, a view of the Kimberley Mine, a Map of the Cape Colony, etc, etc, etc.
