Christian Ignatius Latrobe was a 18th-century English clergy best known for his studies and editions of famous works of classical music. However, his voyage to South Africa yielded his greatest literary achievement. Following his Moravian missionary voyage to the Cape of Good Hope, Latrobe published an edition of the journal he kept while in Africa with entries describing his experiences in settles such as Genadendal, Paardekop, Swellendam, and Groenkloof.

In addition to extensive descriptions of the Hottentot people, this book features numerous, impressive full-page hand-colored engravings! Note the huge, folding map of the Cape of Good Hope at the front, bound inside the beautiful red leather binding!
