About This Item
(Bloemfontein: Associated Periodicals Limited, 1954). 4to; original green cloth with gilt coat of arms on upper cover; illustrated endpaper map; pp. xxiv + 154 + [xxv - xliv]; profusely illustrated with manuscript facsimiles and many photographic reproductions of historic personages, events and places, including a little colour; advertisements. Good condition. "The compilers
have to the best of their ability selected illustrations to provide a picture of the history of the Free State in all its aspects up to 1910. The album cannot, of course, pretend to be a self-contained history, but is merely complementary, though it is hoped that it will be a valuable aid in the teaching of the history of our country. It does not go beyond 1910 because in that year the Free State ceased to exist as a separate and independent entity and its history since has been so closely interwoven with that of the Union of South Africa that it can hardly be separated from it." .
