Description

A ±A6 insert, left blank on the intended obverse.

Notes

The blank obverse of a handwritten insert. This list collates collotype plate numbers, monochrome photographs, and location data (Area 1 localities) for Joyce and Mollie Van der Riet's 'More rock paintings in South Africa: from the coastal belt between Albany and Piquetberg' (1940) and is conceivably part of Dorothea Bleek's organisational calculus for Methuen & Co. Ltd. As the manufacturer's intended obverse, an illustration of Dorothea Bleek's German boarding house and a (nearby?) boulevard appears in the top margin of the card. Dorothea Bleek describes a cabinet print from the Bleek family album showing the same building with a foliage-framed doorway as 'My boarding school. at Bonn, from the garden. D.B.' (in Weintroub, 2011: 16; BC151 2008 #195).
