The Tsisab Ravine in the Brandberg Mountain range of Nambia/South-West Africa, which is the site of the famous 'White Lady of the Brandberg', is also the site of a great number of painted rock shelters clustered together nearly. These are described in the present volume. Unlike the 'White Lady', which depicts a single ceremonial procession, they show an amazing variety of subjects, ranging from some of the finest rock paintings of animals in Southern Africa to scenes of vivid human and ethnological interest - scenes as diverse as the woman 'taken in adultery' in Jochmann Shelter, the charming Hottentot musicians in the 'Girls School', and the spectacle of Death dismembering his victims in Skeleton Shelter. This double volume is the third in a series incorporating the work done by the Abbé Breuil.' Editor's note.
