With frontispiece portraits and maps

Published: Van Riebeeck Society and A A Balkema, Cape Town, 1952 to 1957

Editions: First

The first volume was published in 1952 as part of the commemoration of the tercentenary of Van Riebeeck's landing at the Cape and the other volumes followed soon afterwards.

The original diary is in Nederlands, while the introduction, notes and other material are in Afrikaans.

This 3-vol set is from the Nederlandse Boekerij ANV, Cape Town, but (see below) show few signs of being ex-library.

Full-bound in light-tan cloth-boards with gilt-and-red design and lettering to the upper boards and spines, plain eggshell endpapers, top page-edges tinted green, text on medium-weight wove paper and inserted illustrations on gloss art paper.

Vol I (1952). 1651-1655. Frontispiece portrait + xlvi + 473 pp of text and notes + 8 inserted b/w plates plus 2 maps at the back.
Vol II (1954). 1656-1658. Frontispiece portrait + xii + 491 pp of text and notes + 5 inserted b/w plates.
Vol III (1957). 1659-1662. Frontispiece portrait + xvi + 579 pp of text, notes and indexes + 6 inserted b/w plates.


Condition: Library marks, pastings and stamps are few - modest inked  number at the foot of the spine of volume 1 and one stamp on page 1 and 5 of volume 1. Some of the boards are very lightly rubbed and slightly tanned, and there is slight wear at the extremities of all 3 volumes. Vol 1 is also covered in a mylar cover and the previous owner name is neatly inscribed on the first page. The set is complete, otherwise unmarked and overall very good.

Especially considering its age - 70-75 years old - the 3-vol set remains in a Very good condition.
