This finely produced volume, Herbert Baker in South Africa, is the authoritative study of Sir Herbert Baker, the British architect whose work defined much of the Union-era architectural identity in South Africa. Written by architectural historian Doreen E. Greig, this 1970 limited edition, published by Purnell, is hand-numbered No. 38 of only 2,000 copies, making it highly collectible.
Greig explores Baker’s South African period in depth, including his seminal works such as the Union Buildings in Pretoria, Rhodes Memorial, and numerous public, ecclesiastical, and private commissions. Lavishly illustrated with black-and-white photographs, architectural drawings, and plans, the book provides rich visual and analytical context to Baker’s neoclassical style and his adaptation of European principles to the Southern African landscape and climate.
Beautifully bound and printed on high-quality stock, this limited edition is an essential reference for scholars of colonial architecture, Africana collectors, and enthusiasts of early 20th-century design in the British Empire.
