Transvaal Chamber of Mines Twelfth Report for the Years 1900 and 1901

Hardcover published by Argus Printing and Publishing Company 1902, no jacket, and in very poor external condition, due to liquid damage and ink / paint stains. The boards are extremely marked and stained and damaged, with some liquid having leached into the end-papers, and also to the perimeters of all other pages, that however remain completely legible. The binding is very weak, with a length of the spine internally having come adrift of the text block from the bottom up. The fold-out map "The Goldfields of the Transvaal" is present, with staining to the top edge, and a long tear up one of the folds. All fold-out charts are present at the end of the book (as per Table of Contents Part II), though are also stained along the edges, and some have been mis-folded.
