A rare book.  An important book in the history of South African art as it deals with the Everard family and their contribution to the SA art scene.

The Women of Bonnefoi were : "Bertha Everard, her sister Edith Luise Mary King and Bertha's daughters - Ruth and Rosamund King Everard.  They are remembered for their bold, colourful depictions of the Eastern Transvaal landscape. The book draws on the history of the women, largely reconstructed from the Everard correspondence which was found in an old wagon chest on the farm".
