Full-colour historical map of Africa from The Citizen's Atlas, published by John Bartholomew and Co. Ltd. in 1898. This map of Africa shows the continent at the height of the colonial era when native rule by the Indigenous population had been all but wiped out. Only Liberia on the west coast and Abyssinia (now Ethiopia) in the east were free from European control. The situation was caused by the Scramble for Africa in the late nineteenth century. For clarity, an additional key explains which territory is under the control of the many competing empires in the region. Additional inset maps provide extra details about the islands of Sierra Leone, Mauritius, Ascension, St. Helena, and the Seychelle and Amirante Isles. This map is part of a fascinating collection from the last 150 years of world atlases.

The map can be printed on heavyweight 160 gsm paper or laminated. The paper version is perfect for framing under glass, and the laminated version is exceptionally hard-wearing, as we use a true encapsulation of two pieces of 80-micron gloss laminate.

Alternatively, we can supply this map on 395 gsm HP Professional Matte Canvas using pigment-based inks, making it highly durable and fade-resistant. The exceptional clarity of the printing makes this map a stunning addition to any room, and its high quality means that it will provide years of enjoyment.

The easiest way to hang your canvas map is with wooden hang rollers attached top and bottom. The top roller has a hanging cord, so all you have to do is put a hook on the wall. The hang rails come lacquered in a natural timber colour.

Size: 816 mm (w) x 624 mm (h)

Note: Please allow ten working days to deliver hang-railed maps as they need to be attached by our framer.
