It encompasses the Fingo Milkwood Tree at Peddie and the graves of the Zulu Kings in the Emakhosini Valley. It ranges from the glaciated pavements of Nooitgedacht to the Doornlaagte Earlier Stone Age sites. In doing so, the author and his collaborators have produced an invaluable account of the contribution that the Historical Monuments Commission (now the National Monuments Council) has made during the past 45 years to the conservation of our culture and our nature – a colourful kaleidoscope of the history of South Africa integrated with the visible and tangible heritage of all the peoples of our land.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith an introduction by the State President, Mr. J.

It contains as many as 260 monochrome and 12 full-colour reproductions of historical paintings, sketches and drawings.

Born in Cobham, England, Sir Baker travelled to Cape Town in 1892 to visit his brother and was commissioned to design and remodel Groote Schuur. At the time, Groote Schuur (Dutch for “big barn”) was the home of Cecil John Rhodes and the residence was located on the slopes of Table Mountain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the development was completed, Sir Herbert Baker’s reputation as the architect of choice in South Africa was set. He travelled to a range of countries to learn more about other architectural styles and construction methods and thereafter returned to South Africa. Sir Baker settled back into designing, constructing and remodeling homes and other buildings for the country’s British Colonial settlers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to his strong connections to governors and British Colonial leaders, Sir Baker decided to set up a permanent practice in South Africa, under the name “Herbert Baker, Kendall and Morris”. It’s through this firm that Sir Baker’s portfolio of work grew even more and he created some of South Africa’s most well known buildings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSir Baker’s influence on South African architecture is unparalleled. His design and construction influence can be seen in Rhodes University, the Pretoria Railway Station and many of South Africa’s more upmarket schools like the Roedean School in Johannesburg. Sir Baker would also go on to build homes and design homesteads for a number of wealthy mining magnates, which means that in today’s age in the upper suburban areas of Johannesburg his architectural themes and distinctive style still stand out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHE UNION BUILDINGS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerhaps most famously, Sir Herbert Baker was commissioned to design the Union Buildings in 1909. The very first building block for the Union Buildings was laid in 1910 and construction completed in 1913. It was after this construction project, that Sir Baker left for New Delhi in India, before returning to England. During his time in India, Sir Baker was instrumental in designing and constructing buildings for New Delhi, which would later become the British Raj capital.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd while the country of South Africa may be growing at a rapid pace with industrial developments and commerce dominating much of the skyline, there’s still a strong reminder of the influence of Sir Herbert Baker. While time may pass and buildings change, the essence of his work still stands tall throughout South Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLook carefully, next time you’re near any of the buildings Sir Baker designed, and you’ll find a little piece of South African history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ashanti Pub","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40065653375126,"sku":"Herbert Baker: Architecture and idealism 1892-1913, the South African years","price":990.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0458\/5524\/4438\/products\/20210614_175207.jpg?v=1623687127"},{"product_id":"skone-kunste-in-suid-afrika-deel-1-by-p-j-nienaber","title":"Skone Kunste in Suid-Afrika, Deel 1 by P J Nienaber","description":"\u003cp\u003eHighly Collectible: This book was dedicated dated and signed by the \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDutch\/South African artist \u003c\/span\u003e Harco Wenning to Daniël Hendrik Celliers du Plessis (12 March 1898 – 13 July 1981) who was the Head of the South African Railways and co-founder of The Afrikaner Broederbond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSkone Kunste in Suid-Afrika, Deel 1 by P J Nienaber\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardcover\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublisher: Afrikaanse Pers Boekhandel, Johannesburg, 1951 First Edition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUsed - Very Good Book. 235 pages (complete).

Born in Cobham, England, Sir Baker travelled to Cape Town in 1892 to visit his brother and was commissioned to design and remodel Groote Schuur. At the time, Groote Schuur (Dutch for “big barn”) was the home of Cecil John Rhodes and the residence was located on the slopes of Table Mountain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the development was completed, Sir Herbert Baker’s reputation as the architect of choice in South Africa was set. He travelled to a range of countries to learn more about other architectural styles and construction methods and thereafter returned to South Africa. Sir Baker settled back into designing, constructing and remodeling homes and other buildings for the country’s British Colonial settlers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to his strong connections to governors and British Colonial leaders, Sir Baker decided to set up a permanent practice in South Africa, under the name “Herbert Baker, Kendall and Morris”. It’s through this firm that Sir Baker’s portfolio of work grew even more and he created some of South Africa’s most well known buildings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSir Baker’s influence on South African architecture is unparalleled. His design and construction influence can be seen in Rhodes University, the Pretoria Railway Station and many of South Africa’s more upmarket schools like the Roedean School in Johannesburg. Sir Baker would also go on to build homes and design homesteads for a number of wealthy mining magnates, which means that in today’s age in the upper suburban areas of Johannesburg his architectural themes and distinctive style still stand out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHE UNION BUILDINGS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerhaps most famously, Sir Herbert Baker was commissioned to design the Union Buildings in 1909. The very first building block for the Union Buildings was laid in 1910 and construction completed in 1913. It was after this construction project, that Sir Baker left for New Delhi in India, before returning to England. During his time in India, Sir Baker was instrumental in designing and constructing buildings for New Delhi, which would later become the British Raj capital.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd while the country of South Africa may be growing at a rapid pace with industrial developments and commerce dominating much of the skyline, there’s still a strong reminder of the influence of Sir Herbert Baker.

Die Groot Trek het uit die Kaapkolonie na die latere Vrystaat, Natal en Transvaal aangerol, beginnende in die jaar 1836. Die sug na onbelemmerde vryheid en die behoefte aan ruimte was die vernaamste drangredes by die Voortrekkers. Afstande en onbegaan bare streke, siekte onder mense en diere, teenstand van die barbare en botsing met ander blankes was die vernaamste struikelblokke. 'n Eeu later het die gedagte ontstaan om die heldedade van die voorgeslag te huldig met die oprigting van 'n monument. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDie Sentrale Volksmonumentekomitee met dr. E. G. Jansen as voorsitter neem die saak in hande. Die insameling van fondse by die volk in die algemeen begin in 1931; later neem die Staat die geldelike las op sy skouers. Dr. Gerard Moerdyk is die argitek en ontwerper van die gedenkteken; ook die Historiese Fries is onder sy toesig gelewer.

Hierdie situs is met veel sorg gekies nadat die aansprake van ander plekke oorweeg was. By Pretoria, wat in 1855 gestig is, het die Voortrek tot rus gekom; dit was die hoofstad van die grootste Boererepubliek en is die administratiewe hoofstad van die Unie van Suid-Afrika. Van die top van die Monument af kan baie punte tot 40 myl ver uitgeken word. Die oprigting van die Monument het in 1937 'n aanvang geneem. Die hoeksteen is op 16 Desember 1938 deur drie vroue-afstammelinge van Voortrekkerleiers gelê, en op 16 Desember 1949 is die ontsluiting waargeneem deur dr. D. F.

Die Groot Trek het uit die Kaapkolonie na die latere Vrystaat, Natal en Transvaal aangerol, beginnende in die jaar 1836. Die sug na onbelemmerde vryheid en die behoefte aan ruimte was die vernaamste drangredes by die Voortrekkers. Afstande en onbegaan bare streke, siekte onder mense en diere, teenstand van die barbare en botsing met ander blankes was die vernaamste struikelblokke. 'n Eeu later het die gedagte ontstaan om die heldedade van die voorgeslag te huldig met die oprigting van 'n monument. Die Sentrale Volksmonumentekomitee met dr. E. G. Jansen as voorsitter neem die saak in hande. Die insameling van fondse by die volk in die algemeen begin in 1931; later neem die Staat die geldelike las op sy skouers. Dr. Gerard Moerdyk is die argitek en ontwerper van die gedenkteken; ook die Historiese Fries is onder sy toesig gelewer. Besonderhede van die fries word in 'n afsonderlike hoofstuk gegee. Die terrein waarop die Monument staan, is byna 200 morg groot en is die eiendom van die Staat. Hierdie situs is met veel sorg gekies nadat die aansprake van ander plekke oorweeg was. By Pretoria, wat in 1855 gestig is, het die Voortrek tot rus gekom; dit was die hoofstad van die grootste Boererepubliek en is die administratiewe hoofstad van die Unie van Suid-Afrika. Van die top van die Monument af kan baie punte tot 40 myl ver uitgeken word. Die oprigting van die Monument het in 1937 'n aanvang geneem. Die hoeksteen is op 16 Desember 1938 deur drie vroue-afstammelinge van Voortrekkerleiers gelê, en op 16 Desember 1949 is die ontsluiting waargeneem deur dr. D. F. Malan, Eerste Minister van die Unie van Suid-Afrika. Die koste van die Monument bedra £359,600. Die Monument staan onder sorg van 'n Beheerraad wat deur die Minister van Binnelandse Sake aangestel is. Die plan bestaan om 'n versameling oudhede uit die Voortrekkertydvak by die Monument te vertoon en om die uitgebreide terrein as 'n natuurpark te ontwikkel. Dit is die wens van die Beheerraad dat u besoek vir u besieling sal meebring.

Although the protagonists were Britain and the two Boer Republics of the Transvaal and the Orange Free State, the population of South Africa as a whole became embroiled in the war either directly or indirectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe War Museum in Bloemfontein provides an understanding of the background against which the Anglo-Boer War took place through its unique art collection, dioramas and exhibitions.

Not only does it bear the stamp of this country’s history, but since 1657 it has played – and still plays – a role in that history. Here Cecil John Rhodes, devastated by his friend Jameson’s ill-starred raid into the Transvaal, paced up and down his bedroom floor; here resided prominent members of nineteenth-century Cape social and political circles; here were stored the harvests of the Dutch East India Company’s victualling station.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the present century, Groote Schuur has witnessed `Ouma’ Smuts packing wartime parcels for ‘the boys up North’; a banquet held in honour of British prime minister, Harold Macmillan, just before his famous `wind of change’ speech. And, perhaps most telling of all, the house provided a fitting venue for the first official meeting between recently released Nelson Mandela and the state president at the time, F. W. de Klerk – the meeting that resulted in the Groote Schuur Minute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe house that Herbert Baker built, on Dutch foundations, is filled with treasures of Eastern, European and African provenance, reflecting South Africa’s heterogeneous society. Many were collected by and for Cecil Rhodes, the most famous of Groote Schuur’s occupants. Here can be found locally crafted armoires, kists and chairs, silver snuffboxes and brass candle-sticks; porcelain from China and Japan; longcase clocks and paintings, silver salt cellars and tobacco boxes, delftware and tiles from the Netherlands; chairs and bureaux from England, as well as silver sugar casters, tankards and pocket watches; glassware from Ger-many; and tapestries from Flanders. Here, too, are artefacts and relics from the ruins of Great Zimbabwe, including the enigmatic Zimbabwe bird which so fascinated Rhodes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Groote Schuur: Great Granary to Stately Home, Alain Proust’s sensitive camerawork guides us around the impressive rooms, alighting here and there on fascinating detail. The lively and well-researched text by Phillida Brooke Simons outlines the house’s historical and architectural development, discusses Rhodes’s all-important influence on it, and describes its occupation by subsequent political leaders. Combined, the photographs and text present a rare opportunity to marvel at and enjoy the splendour of this unique piece of South Africa’s heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fernwood Press (Pty) Ltd ,South Africa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51358068998447,"sku":"Groote Schuur: Great Granary to Stately Home by Phillida Brooke Simons","price":425.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0458\/5524\/4438\/products\/20221206_180529.jpg?v=1670344222"},{"product_id":"nienaber-p-j-smit-j-d-amp-botes-s-m-vrystaatse-argitektuur","title":"Nienaber, P.J.; Smit J.D. en Botes, S.M. - VRYSTAATSE ARGITEKTUUR (Afrikaans)","description":"\u003cp\u003eNienaber, P.J.; Smit J.D.  en  Botes, S.M. - VRYSTAATSE ARGITEKTUUR (Afrikaans)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"lot-description\"\u003eHistories-argitektoniese ontwikkeling van die Vrystaatse boukuns: 'n oorsig.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished: Stigting NALN, 1987\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEdition: First Edition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN 0947023\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDecorative hard cover, 72 pages, illustrated with colour and b\u0026amp;w photos.
