About This Item
s.l., s.d.. sur carton fort, 48 x 38 cm.Le Cap est en elle-même décrite par les voyageurs comme une ville «jolie» et «soignée» avec ses rues droites tirées au cordeau, sa rue principale (Heerengracht), sa grande place (Grand Parade), son château, ses tavernes, ses ateliers, ses maisons d'hôtes, son canal bordé d'arbres et ses jardins. Les maisons d'habitations sont situés à l'écart. L'architecture de ces maisons prend un style distinctif spécifique au Cap (le style Cape Dutch), mettant l'accent sur l'origine hollandaise de ses habitants agrémentées d'influences asiatiques. Les murs sont blanchis à la chaux, les volets peints en vert et les toits recouverts de chaume. On compte plus de mille maisons de ce genre dès le milieu du XVIIIe siècle27. Quelques petits manques sinon bon état.

About Minet
The current bookstore has its origins in the one that existed in the 80s in Redu, a small village in the Ardennes. It is there, in a charming manor house, Dirk Minet had his bookbinding workshop and his bookstore.
In the early 90s, he moved to Brussels and with the collaboration of his brother Bernard created a place even more conducive to the passion for old books that motivated them both. After seven years, Bernard leaves and Dirk alone presides over the destiny of the Minet-frères bookshop.
In April 1996 opening of the first website of the bookstore with the URL address http://www.librairie-minet-frères.
In June 1997, the site was completely renovated and changed address.
Today the books have found their setting in a splendid 19th century mansion.
Accessible by appointment only.
