Descripción del artículo del vendedor

The original map for Sir John Goodes proposed work on Cape Town Harbour, which was later adopted. Proposed work shown in red. Map is 99cm x 68.5cm with some closed tears along creases and a library stamp on the reverse, Housed in a special folded case. Included is the original Goodes report dated August 1877, printed by Waterlow and Sons, which several archive and library stamps. Sir John Goode (11 Nov 1816 - 2nd March 1892) was an English civil engineer, known for harbour works. He was consulted by several of the most important colonial governments, notably by those of the South African and Australian colonies, in reference to proposed harbour works. He made several journeys to South Africa in connection with the scheme upon which his advice was sought. In 1876, he was in Cape Colony and in Natal, and again in 1877. He wrote many professional reports, chiefly on harbours, the most important of which are Table Bay (Weymouth, 1859), Whiethaven (London, 1866), on military harbours (London, 1875), Table Bay, Mossel Bay (London, 1877, Port Natal (London, 1877) and Melbourne (London, 1879). Coode was probably the most distinguished harbour engineer of the nineteenth century, it would be difficult to estimate too highly the value to the trade and mutual intercourse of the different parts of the British empire, of the harbour and river improvement schemes in every part of the world which he was responsible for.

We specializes in collectible items with a focus on rare books and prints. We have a particularly strong range of modern first editions; signed books; speculative fiction and Livre d’Artiste books, as well as original prints and maps. PLEASE NOTE: Our Abebooks profile is listed via my Australian Business. However the book store is not based in Melbourne. **We are based in Cape Town, South Africa.** This is due to payment issues on Abebooks side for South African banks. This was a solution Abebooks and we came up with together to bypass the Payment gateway issue for right now. All our other selling platforms correctly displays our place of origin as Cape Town, South Africa. ****A Note on USA Tariffs**** Books and prints are exempt from the 2025 US tariff measures (printed and informational materials are protected under IEEPA exemptions.)
