Description:
|
|
| Equatorial Africa showing the route of Henry Morton Stanley's Emin Pasha Relief Expedition (1886-1889) marked by a red line. The map's shading indicates elevation, with darker colours representing higher altitudes. The small inset map of Scotland was intended to give the reader a sense of scale and the enormity of Stanley's achievement. Printed colour. [AFR5980] |
