Issued 1883, London by Letts.
Scarce late 19th century color lithographed map. A late re-issue of the SDUK maps from 40 years prior.
Of particular modern interest for the key, which notes unusual features such as consulate locations and light houses, categories not typically found on maps of this era or region. Large boxed keys at top and bottom left list various export products and their trade values 1876-1880. These include woods, dyes, coffee, etc.
Well preserved, clean, nice looking example.
