Die Gedenkwaardighede van Suid-Afrika is an important and substantial Africana reference work documenting the historical monuments, memorials, heritage sites, and cultural landmarks of South Africa. This enlarged and revised second edition, published circa 1949 under the authority of the State Information Office in Pretoria, represents a significant contribution to South African historiography and heritage preservation during the mid-20th century.
Edited by noted historians C. van Riet Lowe and B. D. Malan, the volume was produced by the Historiese Monumente Kommissie and serves as a detailed survey of sites and monuments regarded as culturally and historically significant at the time of publication. Die Gedenkwaardighede van Suid-Afrika reflects the scholarly and governmental efforts to catalogue and preserve South Africa's built heritage, making it highly desirable to collectors of Africana, South African history, genealogy, cultural studies, and architectural history.
The large-format hardcover edition is particularly attractive, featuring sturdy brown boards with gilt titling and an imposing presentation suited to institutional and collector libraries. Copies of this title are increasingly difficult to source in South Africa, especially in clean and complete condition.
This example of Die Gedenkwaardighede van Suid-Afrika is a circa 1949 Afrikaans hardcover edition in very good condition.
