Books - Cederberg Rock Paintings

R195.00 Incl vat

These Cederberg rock paintings are, as Wilhelm Bleek noted in the late 19^th century, about the things that “most deeply moved the Bushman mind”. From the current intense interest in rock paintings across the globe, images that have survived the millennia from a stone age past continue to move minds. It has become clear that the insights offered to Bleek and his sister-in-law Lucy Lloyd by their/Xam informants have transformed the analysis of painted images from speculation to understanding. Through the dissemination of the written and painted archives, the stories, images and sounds of the /Xam are gradually finding their way back into the minds of Cederberg people.
