Bottle collecting is a growing hobby in South Africa, part of its attraction being that the items for a collection are more often unearthed, like hidden treasure, in old earthworks and rubbish dumps than bought in a shop. Although much has been written on old bottles in Britain and America, this is the first book to be written for South African collectors. Its extensive colour photographs help identify old bottles that are found in South Africa, while the illustrations of old articles and advertisements give a delightful insight into the place of our memorabilia in everyday Victorian life.
