Limpopo by Walter Battiss, published in 1965 by J.L. van Schaik, is a unique blend of memoir, travelogue, and artists book. It features Battisss encounters with people and places across southern and East Africa, captured through 42 black-and-white and 10 color photographs taken by the artist himself. The book reflects his fascination with archaeology, tribal art, and the landscapes that shaped his artistic vision.

Battiss, known for his abstract and rock art-inspired works, uses Limpopo to document his travels and artistic interpretations, offering a mix of visual storytelling and personal reflections.
