Issued 1890, Edinburgh by John Bartholomew & Co for the Edinburgh Geographical Institute.

Scarce late 19th century color lithographed map issued for the Scottish Geographical Magazine, possibly unique to that publication. Overprinted in red lettering.

A scarce transitional map which captures these foreign colonial holdings at this brief moment in historical time.

Nice looking example with pleasing age patina. The paper is fairly brittle and the fold lines have short splits which have been nicely closed on the reverse with archival tape and are hardly visible when viewing the map.

Original fold lines as issued.
