Book Description 8vo; original coarse green cloth, lettered in gilt on spine and with publisher's device in gilt to upper cover; dustwrapper; pp. x + 150, incl. index; some facsimile illustrations. Dustwrapper sunned on spine panel; some foxing to endpapers and edges, occasional fox spot elsewhere. Good to very good condition. "This is the first Bibliography devoted wholly to material actually printed in the City of Grahamstown, 1830-1900. It was compiled by A. Gordon-Brown over many years, and breaks new ground both in its research and selection of illustrations. An entertaining introduction gives historical background and is spiced with anecdotes of the strong personalities and eccentric characters of Grahamstown's past, and the events that were the subject of their vital local literature. An annotated list of some 370 books and pamphlets is recorded, followed by lists of periodicals, newspapers, directories, almanacs and official publications. In the appendixes are lists of the known Grahamstown printers and bookbinders. Of the 29 illustrations very few have been reproduced before; among them is an astonishing print purporting to show Grahamstown in ruins in 1872. Numerous charming little vignettes of local shops and hotels taken from engraved invoices and advertisements more than a century ago, carry with them something of the atmosphere of the times; there is also a little-known portrait of L. H. Meurant.". Seller Inventory # 11698
