Very slightly shelf-rubbed. Very good to near-fine condition."Early explorers and settlers, courageous and eccentric personalities, trade, farming and enterprise, shipwrecks and frontier wars - this is the subject matter of the panorama of Port Elizabeth. The enthusiasm and conscientious scholarship of Eleanor Lorimer, regional historian of the social and cultural life of P.E., is manifest thorughout this absorbing book. Colonel Robert Gordon, Sir Rufane Donkin, Frederick Korsten, Captain Francis Evatt, Sophia Pigot, the Lovemore family - these are some of the names that feature in the early history of the region.. This rich and varied story is enlivened by a unique collection of illustrations: an extensive search was made for old photographs, with exciting results; there are reproductions of pictures by Daniell, Bowler, Baines, Huggins, and of engravings from contemporary issues of'Illustrated London News'and'Graphic'. The author herself has made wash drawings based on old photographs and Tony Grogan has contributed line illustrations of houses and monuments made especially for this edition."
