Footnotes
"The scarcest and most valuable of the large atlas folios of South African illustrations. The two volumes form a most magnificent work" (Mendelssohn). Daniell arrived in South Africa in 1799 and was appointed secretary and artist for the expedition of 1801–2 from the Cape of Good Hope to Bechuanaland led by P.J. Truter and William Somerville. His sketches on the expedition formed the basis for the present work.
