Front cover only, no rear cover- disbound from a sammelband, the huge Africa map is also detached with some repairs to tears on reverse, one is a long split along the bottom fold line. Rare in any condition.

One huge folding map at rear as issued (appears unopened although paper is fairly brittle and could split along fold lines if not handled with care).

Maps include: "The Bechuana-Land Protectorate" and "East Africa, Between Zambesi and Rovuma Rivers".

Scarce late 19th century geographical periodical removed from bound volume (evidence visible along spine). 

Original paper cover, lacking rear wrapper. Interior clean, some pages loosened from old dried glue binding, light signs of use, rubber stamp to cover.

The periodical remains relatively well preserved given the fragile nature. It displays a pleasing and unique age patina, the age flaws easy to overlook or forgive.
