- Description: Photographic souvenir books of towns and cities around the world were very popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These vol-umes, printed to a high standard and bound in a superior quality bind-ing, showed off commercial and civic buildings, churches, schools and views of the surrounding natural environment. Grocott and Sherry, a firm of Grahamstown printers and publishers, published a number of these souvenirs of Grahamstown, the last one appearing in 1898. Earli-er this year an exhibition was mounted in Grahamstown's Albany Mu-seum to celebrate 140 years since the founding of the Grocott's Mail, a newspaper published until 2003 by the firm of Grocott and Sherry and since then owned and operated by the Rhodes University School of Journalism and Media Studies.
