About This Item
Cape Town: Howard Timmins for George Allen & Unwin Ltd. Undated work, probably early 1950's. Inscription to previous owner in green felt-tip on flyleaf. Rosenthal said in the foreword: "This book is a monument to that lively and unhonoured fraternity of South Africans I knew as a boy, the prospectors who searched for gold and other mineral wealth -- often without success but never without a dazzling optimism. Others made the millions; they had the fun. From them and from the lips of the accompanying band of inventors, detectives, magnates and stock-brokers heard the yarns that, in most cases, are here set down for the first time. My thanks go out to those few veterans who survive and to the relatives of others who have passed on, for furnishing me with many of the unique portraits and other illustrations which help to embellish these pages." ------------------ Orders over $100.00 are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
