LOUIS MICHEL THIBAULT 1750-1815: His Official Life At The Cape Of Good Hope – Huguette Roy De Puyfontaine
Tafelberg, 1970
Hardcover with dustjacket in good condition, there is a closed tear to the back of the jacket – this is an ex-library book and thus has all the usual markings thereof.
Careful research of original letters and documents from the Cape, Paris, the Hague, & Delft Archives puts life into a famous personality of the Cape who previously existed in the shadow of his own work. In the Cape from 1783 to 1815, he emerges as a man of many talents, a soldier, architect, surveyor, mathematician, teacher and artist.
