This book of paintings on Swakopmund's past is a fresh take on the town's German settlement history. The images reflect and imagine what these early immigrants faced: wild winds, thick snad, fleas - even, eventually, bombardment - and then South African rule. The lively illustrations make it all come to life, while the text weaves in some of the significant makers of Swakopmund's colourful tapestry.
