This folding map spans from the Mouths of the Nile in the Mediterranean down to Lake Victoria. Many African nations, cities, rivers, lakes, and mountains are identified. Stanford took control of his partner Trelawney Saunders' map dealership at the age of 25 and was prolific and popular in a time when British colonial expansion increased the public's demand for maps of the world.
