The Assassination of Shaka -- Cecil Skotnes and Stephen Gray

THE ASSASSINATION OF SHAKA, by Mhlangane Dingane and Mbopa on 22 September 1828 at Dukuza by which act the Zulu Nation first lost its empire, 43 woodcuts by Cecil Skotnes, text by Stephen Gray.

43 woodblock prints with captions. With working notes on the genesis of the project. Unpaginated. 

Hardcover with dust jacket in very good and clean condition.

The dust jacket has wear with some chips and tears but no loss. Still very bright and attractive.

Internally bright and clean. There is a bump to the very top corner of the pages in the last third of the book - see final image.

An obviously second hand copy which still presents most attractively.
