Richly illustrated biography of Sir Joseph Robinson, 1st Baronet (1840-1929). Robinson, known as 'The Buccaneer,' was a "Randlord", one of the South African mining magnates who controlled the highly profitable gold and diamond mining industries in Southern Africa around the turn of the 20th Century. They played a major part in shaping the economic and political development of the region at a time when the newly discovered mineral wealth heightened tensions between the British colonies and the determinedly independent Boer states. These tensions over the future direction of political and economic developments eventually resulted in the Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902) and the subsequent British imperial expansion throughout southern Africa. Robinson was a leading figure throughout the era and the book describes the outstanding events such as the discovery of diamonds at Kimberley and gold in the Transvaal, the Jameson Raid and political figures such as Cecil Rhodes and Paul Kruger.…

FIRST EDITION AND THE RARE COMPLETE EARLIEST ISSUED SET OF FOUR VOLUMES. A FURTHER SUPPLEMENTAL VOLUME WAS ISSUED IN 1926. A SCARCE AND EXTRAORDINARY MONUMENT TO BRITISH COLONIAL AFRICA. This exhaustive work on one of the most difficult engineering projects of its age is, as stated by J.C. Smuts in the foreword, a "monumental record of African Pioneering". There are over 2000 pages of text and the illustrations are exceptional in every regard. There are numerous portraits being actual tipped in sepia photographs, colour plates and breathtaking maps. Though the work centers on the railway and river route, it also encompasses virtually every aspect of British exploration, pioneering and development in Africa. Weinthal has compiled this great work from a list of sources and contributors that would all by themselves constitute a great Africana library. To name just a small percentage of them we find; Winston Churchill, Sir Percy Fitzpatrick, Theodore Roosevelt, Harry Johnston, Flinders Petrie, Frederick Selous, J.C. Smuts and Francis Younghusband. While the focus stays largely on the route and development of the rail line there is no shortage of information on the native peoples, the game and wildlife, the gold and diamond mining operations, the geography, the cartography and much, much more. This set is complete with all of the portraits, plates, maps, etc. The list of illustrations in volume 3 references a plate of the mountain gorilla, this plate is always missing, as here and as is correct. We surmise the compilers were unable at the last minute to obtain the rights to reproduce the image from its original source material. …
