Book Author: Walker, Michael Year: 2013 Title: The pioneer architects of Johannesburg and their buildings (1886-1899) with postcard illustrations Place: St James Publisher: The Kalk Bay Historical Association This book covers the early background of some nineteen overseas pioneer architects who endured the rigours of pre-1900 travel to practise their profession in the mining town of Johannesburg which later, due to the discovery of gold, became a prosperous city. These architects in their designs of European architecture, foreign to the Transvaal Republic (ZAR), contributed greatly to the adornment of a town bereft of natural beauty. Their works are illustrated on many picture postcards in an era where postage was cheap and cameras rare. Read a book review by Kathy Munro.
