Et Possessions Francaises Sur La Mer Rouge
Par Henri Mager

(Port Obock, Djibouti / Red Sea / French Colonies in Africa/ Abyssinia/ Ethiopia/ Arabian peninsula / Yemen )

Issued Paris, c.1885-90 by Bayle.

Engraved by A. Simon.

Detailed and uncommon late 19th century color lithographed map, focusing on this former French colony.

Inset maps include Ethiopia and the Red Sea, Shiek Said (Green Island, Eritrea), etc.

Minor light toning and small scattered age spotting as typical for maps of this vintage, but to our eyes and for most people, an entirely acceptable and nice looking example of this antique map.

Original fold line as issued.

Sheet measures c. 19 1/2" x 12 3/4".

Printed area measures c. 16 1/4" x 11".

Small oblong folio format.
