A detailed late 19th century map of South Africa published in 1884 by Edward Stanford of Charing Cross, London, one of the leading Victorian mapmakers.
The map presents the southern African region in clear geographic detail, showing the Cape of Good Hope, Natal and surrounding inland territories with strong emphasis on physical landscape. Mountain ranges, river systems such as the Orange and Limpopo, and major coastal contours are carefully drawn, giving a strong sense of the terrain and scale of the region.
Key towns and developing transport routes are marked throughout, with railways and road lines beginning to connect coastal hubs to inland settlements. The coastline is particularly well defined, highlighting harbours and ports along the southern and eastern seaboard.
Each map is hand-laid on linen, enhancing durability and preserving colour over time. The linen backing also allows you to iron the reverse to remove folds and creases.
Supplied folded in a labelled, decorative package as shown in images. (Design of packaging may vary)
Available in one size
