Images of the Cape. Albert Newall.

Tafelberg, 1965. Oblong 4to; original coarse oatmeal cloth, lettered in black on spine and upper cover; unpaginated; one hundred and twenty-four full-page monochrome photographs, with captions to facing pages. Good+ condition, some grubby marks and stains, internally neat and bright, unmarked. 

Mr. Newall is an artist; consequently the lens of his camera is a seeing lens: it perceives not merely the facts of the Cape countryside but its essence and its emotions. In some of the magnificent plates he interprets almost clairvoyantly the sombre undertones which many observers are too sun-bedazzled to perceive. Some of the scenes and buildings here illustrated have already been ruined, or totally destroyed. This book is a valuable record of the Cape's visage in this decade; and I am happy that the Cape Tercentenary Foundation was able in a small way to help Mr. Newall bring this work to fruition." - Dudley R. D'Ewes, Chairman, Cape Tercentenary Foundation
