    By Mollie N. Morrison.

The text begins with the early history of the colony and then moves through colonial working conditions, church and secular plate, guilds and regulations, and a listing of identified silversmiths, with some makers marks. One chapter deals with silver furniture fittings by Cape Town silversmiths.
    Hardcover. 8.5"x11", xv + 84 pages, plus 16 black & white plates; marks; original dark blue pebbled cloth and silver-gilt stamped covers. Covers clean, contents with moderate foxing around the edges; inscribed by Morrison.
