LOMAX: PORTRET VAN 'N SUID-AFRIKAANSE DORP - JOHANNES MEINTJES
In 1960 is daar bykans 1400 fotos deur die bekende fotograaf Ambrose Lomax ontdek - 'n groot aantal waarvan die dorp Molteno, sy mense en sy lewe in pragfotos vasvang. Die foto's wat hier afgebeeld word, is 'n keur uit hierdie fotografiese studies, en bied 'n aangrypende beeld van Suid-Afrikaners aan die einde van die vorige eeu en die begin van hierdie eeu. Afgesien van hul kultuur-historiese belang, is hulle pragtig op sigself en 'n fotografiese prestasie.
Bekendes - en minder bekendes - met vanne soos Coetzee, Rossouw, Meij, Meintjes, Hattingh, Van Wyk, Potgieter, Myburgh, Botha, Fourie, Marais en ander word in hierdie pragboek "uitgestal".

1. Die dorp en distrik Molteno (uitsig op die dorp, hoofstraat, Jardine se winkel, kloktoring, NG Kkerk, mev Ridley se hospitaal en vele meer)
2. Die oorlog 1899-1902 (die Stormberg slagveld, Kaapse polisie, polisiekamp, gepantserde trein en ander)
