How it works

Register

Wherever Tony Grogan goes he takes pencil, paper, water-colours-and his artist's eye for detail. From his rough sketches and pencil scrawled notes he has drawn the material for such successful books as his Settler Country and Vanishing Villages.

Now he shares with us a sketckbook that for the first time is a condensation of eanderings through many different parts of South Africa and South West Africa/Namibia.

Here are prospectors and miners, fishermen and farm workers, Zulu warriors from a film set, stately Herero women, the exotic crowd as a Hindu festival in Durban. Grogan's city streets are thronged with hawkers and flower seller, rickshaw drivers and newspaper boys.

Hardback with dustcover, signed and inscribed to half title page.128 unpaginated pages, crammed with illustrations. Very clean copy.
