The Drakensberg, Dragon Mountains, are the highest range in Southern Africa. The area itself is a natural wonderland whose geology and wildlife make it a spectacular destination for the outdoorsman. In an appeal to cultured European visitors, this early travel poster certainly displays some of the geological splendor of the region, but focuses primarily on a group of stylish tourists with golf being played in the background.
