Small 4to; original yellow boards, lettered in gilt on spine; pictorial dustwrapper; pp. viii + (ii) + 101; line drawings and paintings reproduced in monochrome. Dustwrapper somewhat rubbed and edgeworn, with trace of foxing to reverse side; light bump to bottom corners of boards; earlier owner's name signed on front pastedown; occasional fox spot. Good to very good condition, in a good dustwrapper. "The unfamiliar faces in this book are those of Xhosa- and Zulu-speaking people who live in the country that lies between the Drakensberg and the sea. The portraits are exact in every detail and delight those who have lived among these people - Xhosa, Pondo and Thembu, Bhaca and Zulu - because of their veracity. Equally they delight strangers and travellers because they reveal the unfamiliar and romantic. One of the pleasures this book provides is that it expresses in painting and words the personal reaction of the artist, what she feels about the things she sees; the 'calm, un-anxious eyes' of the Christian women, the quality of the light, the fearfulness of the young men set apart as initiates. These are things that anthropologists also see and long to communicate but most of us are incapable of doing so, and we are further inhibited by the rigorous requirement of our science that what is described should be 'objective fact' and not the observer's own feelings. It is with special joy, therefore, that an anthropologist commends this book." - Monica Hunter Wilson. Seller Inventory # 12821
