Newspaper Clippings

Printed newsprint glued on paper

Unknown

One cut-out column of printed newsprint mounted on foolscap folio (warped).

Van der Sand de Villiers (also spelt Van de Sandt de Villiers), Riversdale (gunpowder permits denied at), gunpowder (permit for), fire (at Swellendam)

An original cutting of a Victorian article entitled 'Stand and Deliver!', 'The Swellendam Distress', and 'Riversdale', respectively. The first two articles are by BJ van de Sandt de Villiers. Published in Het Volksblad (date unknown [but given its fonds number, presumably published in or after 1886]). A pencil note on the mount reads 'Not by Bleek, but amended by him to be by van der Sand de Villiers' (this is further indicated by the 'V. d. S. d. V.' initials written below the first two sections of text). The date of this column is unknown.
