Description:
|
|
| Astounding four-sheet folding wall map of Africa showing the continent during the great age of Victorian exploration. It shows the discoveries made by Livingstone, Speke, Grant, Burton and Stanley among others in Central Africa, the Great Lakes and the Congo. It is also a stark reminder of how much was still unknown in 1882. A magnificent historical snapshot of the continent. Original colour. [Folded] [AFR5853] |
