"Robert Jacob Gordon, a Dutchman of Scottish descent, can be considered as perhaps the most important of the eighteenth-century travellers in southern Africa. Head of the Dutch garrison at the Cape, he penetrated the Cape interior further than any known European predecessor or contemporary, and as one of the first explorers to reach the Orange River, named it in 1777. On his travels, he kept detailed and meticulous records of the geology, geomorphology, flora and fauna of the Cape, as well as observations on the indigenous peoples he encountered, namely Khoikhoi, San, Tswana and Xhosa. Many drawings executed by him and the artists who accompanied him are reproduced courtesy of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam". Size: Quarto. Hard Cover. Bookseller Inventory # 04793
