From the hands of Pippa Skotnes and her team who produced the beautiful and acclaimed Jacana books on the San and their rock art, Claim to the Country and Unconquerable Spirit, comes a smaller but equally handsome volume on rock art copies made by the great German ethnologist, Leo Frobenius. Frobenius visited South Africa and Zimbabwe in the 1930s and with a team of German artists produced a magnificent collection of rock art copies, a set of which the Union government bought for GBP5,000 and deposited with the South African Museum in Cape Town, where they have lain neglected for more than seventy years. Now these copies, some measuring several metres in length, are being exhibited in Cape Town and other centres of South Africa.
