VINTAGE CAPE TOWN

Pama (C.)

Description:

Historic houses and families in and around the old Cape.

178 pages, many illustrations, brown cloth gilt, a good copy in slightly frayed dust jacket.

Vintage Cape Town in the intriguing story of old houses and buildings – some of them dating from the early pioneer days – preserved in a city which during the last century has changed beyond all recognition. These buildings represent more than only fashions in architectural design and style – they reflect a way of life, they breathe the atmosphere of past centuries and give the history of the city on a microcosmic scale.’ Editor’s note.
