The Architectural Press, 1951

A near fine copy (sl. faded through d.w.) in a vg+ d.w., shallow chip head spine; large chip lower rear corner. INSCRIBED to Neil Duncan by W.G. HOLFORD. Uncommon signed. Although born and educated to pre-university level in South Africa, William Holford is invariably associated with Great Britain where he lived throughout his adult like and where he was accorded so many honours. Most of the writings by and about him consequently relate to this British background and not a great deal is known outside South Africa of his professional association with the land of his birth. He was in fact involved in a number of projects in South Africa in the post-war years, including those in Pretoria, Pietermaritzburg, Cape Town and Durban. Neil Duncan, architect, was the husband of anti-apartheid activist Sheena Duncan.
