South Africa and The Transvaal War, by Louis Creswicke. With Numerous illustrations and Maps. 7 Volumes (Missing Volume 8 which we believe was a supplementary volume covering South Africa's future).

Published by The Caxton Publishing Company, London. Undated, but c. 1900.

A good+ set of red cloth hardbacks with gilt decoration to front and spine. Some sun fading to spines. Covers with some wear and a few light marks, and bumped to extremities. Overall, the set is bright and clean, and in the main is soundly bound. 

There are some minor flaws including offsetting to endpapers, damage to rear outer hinge on Volume I, loose half title and detached frontispiece to Vol II, a couple of volumes with marks to title page, and the occasional mark or fold. Vol VII spine a little cocked. Nicely illustrated throughout, including colour plates and fold-out sections. A very usable set.

Text in English.

Approx Dimensions: 

Each volume approximately 252mm high x 187mm wide x 27mm deep.

Weight approximately 6.7kg (the set - unpacked).
