This exceptional 1976 deluxe edition of Eikestad offers a rare and beautiful tribute to the historic town of Stellenbosch, affectionately known as the "City of Oaks." Issued in an exclusive print run of only one hundred copies, this volume is bound in full genuine leather with gold-embossed titling to the cover and spine, reflecting the finest traditions of South African bookmaking.
The book features a superb collection of pen and wash drawings that capture the architectural grace, leafy streets, and timeless atmosphere of Stellenbosch, South Africa's second-oldest town. Each illustration is rendered with remarkable precision and sensitivity, focusing on the iconic Cape Dutch homesteads, historic churches, and serene natural landscapes that define the character of the region. Printed on high-quality, heavy stock paper, the illustrations are accompanied by an insightful historical introduction and carefully considered captions, providing context and enriching the visual narrative.
Reserved for collectors and connoisseurs, this Leatherbound edition has become exceedingly scarce and remains highly sought after by collectors of Africana, fine art, and rare books. As a celebration of both artistic skill and cultural heritage, it stands as a timeless addition to any distinguished private library.
