Handsome map of Africa with an accurately depicted coastline, and a fairly blank interior, apart from the names of tribes. Thomson’s New General Atlas was one of the most accurate and best produced atlases of the day. His ‘County Atlas of Scotland’ is generally considered the finest of its kind.

Closed tear on left margin (1cm.). Very good condition.
