A large map of the former Cape Colony, modern South Africa, bordered by German South West Africa, modern Namibia, and the Kalahari Desert. This is Map 80 from Stanford's London Atlas Series, published by Stanford's Geographical Establishment. Edward Stanford (1827-1904) was a British publisher and cartographer, and founder of Stanford's Ltd. In the mid 1850's, Stanford founded his business in response to rapid British colonial expansion and the demand for accurate, high-quality, and accessible maps that resulted. As well as producing his own maps, Stanford also reprinted a number of other series, including the popular maps of principle cities by the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. Stanford's son, also named Edward, succeeded his father in 1884. Condition: Central vertical fold as issued. |
