Lot of 4. Hall, Sidney. Northern Africa, Southern Africa, Western Africa. Published in A general Atlas of Ancient & Modern Geography, 1827. Outline color.; each measures 19.5 x 23.75 in. By the 19th century, the sun never set on the British Empire. The government had an obvious need for accurate maps of their worldwide "holdings," and at the same time, explorers were returning with information about other lands. British cartographers rose to the challenge, taking the lead in the international realm of map-making, producing up-to-date, clean, accurate maps for both the government and public. Much of the interior of Africa was still unknown in the early part of the century, but there is good information of the coastal regions, and major mountains are indicated and named. Wonderful maps from the early nineteenth century. Very good condition. Bonne, Rigobert. Partie de la Cote Orientale D'Afrique. 1770. Outline coloring; 15 x 20 in. Decorative map of southeastern Africa and Madagascar. Includes inset map of the Isle Bourbon and Isle de France. Decorative title cartouche in the upper right quadrant. Some wear to fold line. Good condition.
