A Cape Camera - Hans Fransen

A simply stunning book filled with plenty of beautiful photographs (with descriptions) of Cape rural and city houses taken from the remarkable Elliott Collection in the Cape Archives. As well as depiction of the civilian architecture of the Cape, there are also plenty of photos giving a rare glimpse of the people inhabiting these dwellings.

Hans Fransen, a knowledgeable expert and enthusiast on the subject of South Africas artistic and cultural heritage, provides a written introduction to the book, as well as being the compiler of the works reprinted in the book.
