From Memory to Marble : The Historical Frieze of the Voortrekker Monument Part I - Info and Reading Options

The Open Library:

This is the first time that the 92-metre marble frieze of the Voortrekker Monument, showing Boer pioneers who conquered South Africa's interior (1835-52), has been the subject of a monograph. The visual narrative is a key work that represented a crucial period of South Africa's past. And it contributed to the country's socio-political mores in the 1930s and 1940s when it was made. It is also unique in providing rare evidence of the processes of creating a major monument, discoverable in unpublished documents, drawings and models, from the earliest discussions of the purpose and content of the frieze through all stages of its design, modelling and sculpting. The book traces these complex processes and those who contributed to them, and analyses the reliefs selected to represent the Great Trek. It explains how visual representation transforms historical memory in what it chooses to recount and the style in which it is depicted. It investigates the active role the Monument played in the development of apartheid, and its post-apartheid heritage.
