The book contains thirty plates that reproduce a selection of the finest art recordings by Stephen Townley Bassett. Prof. David Lewis-Williams, the world renowned scholar in the field of rock art studies, opens the book by leading us into the minds of the ancient painters of the art. Each of the magnificent plates is then illustrated and brought to life by Prof. Benjamin Smith.

Preface by Prof. Benjamin Smith: “The documentary paintings of Stephen Townley Bassett are collectors’ pieces for the connoisseur. They can now be found hanging in famous collections in many cities of the world. They are both of aesthetic and commercial value. But, what draws me to these paintings is the unparalleled ability to evoke the feeling of actually being inside a rock art site. They capture a pleasure that eclipses both beauty and price.”
