Synopsis & Historical Value
Overberg Tapestry is an illustrated portrait of the Overberg region of South Africa, pairing landscape photography with text on the area's history, geography, people and folklore. The jacket shows the region's wheat fields, mountains and a blue crane.
Leslie Howard is credited as author, with Keith Phillips as photographer and designer. Library catalogues file the book under Overberg description and travel, social life and customs, and history, and a regional-history source cites it as a reference.
A handsome coffee-table volume for those with an interest in the Overberg, the Western Cape and the regional heritage of South Africa.
