Search your attic or brandsolder, for a complete copy of Ritter's Almanac (with its cherubs which may have been cut by Thibault), would be worth as much as any Cape triangular.
Comments
(South Africa) A layer of brick or clay added to a ceiling in a traditional South African house in order to protect against falling thatch in the case of a roof fire.
The actual construction of the house was, of course, very much in the Cape Dutch tradition — random stone foundations, mud brick walls, a mud brandsolder and thatch roof.
