This vintage 1962 Afrikaans edition, published by Nasionale Boekhandel in collaboration with Fabbri Milaan, offers an engaging exploration of the life and multifaceted genius of Leonardo da Vinci. Part of the "Die Meester-boeke" series, the text details Da Vinci’s legendary contributions to art, engineering, and anatomy, accompanied by vibrant mid-century illustrations of his inventions like the printing press, paddle boats, and the colossal Sforza horse. The book is in good vintage condition with a solid spine and clean internal pages, though the cover shows minor shelf wear and a small handwritten price marking on the yellowed front endpaper consistent with its age.
