Map of Africa from 1909

This historic map of Africa takes you back to 1909, to a time when the "Dark Continent" was barely known to the outside world. A time when the only way to travel to faraway places like Abyssinia, the Congo State, and the Bechuanaland Protectorate was by long sea journey and then many miles by train. National Geographic was one of the first to introduce this amazing country to the world, and this incredible map is a time capsule of that era. Artistic cartography and meticulous detail make this a map for any collector.
