'A map of the Malmesbury area as defined for the production of Wines of Origin. Depicting the salient features of the areas under viticulture situated in the Divisional Council Area of Malmesbury.'
The Swartland is now one of the world's most exciting wine regions, and Janice Ashby's 1973 design shows it long before that reputation was made, when wheat still dominated. Covering the district from the vineyards of Darling, Malmesbury and the Riebeek valley to Saldanha and St Helena Bay, it fills the interior with wheat symbols, while grape emblems locate the vineyards and co-operatives. A caption explains that the dark soil seen by a 1665 expedition gave the area its name, 'Het Zwarte Land'. Ashby surrounds the map with scrollwork, the Malmesbury arms, a wheatsheaf and a coastal still life of crayfish, fish, nets and a barrel. This sheet comes from the reduced-format portfolio 6 Wine Maps of the Cape, issued about 1975.
