Africa with inset maps of St Helena and The Nile

This wonderful map of the continent of Africa was produced by O.W. Gray as part of his “Grays Atlas of the United States with General Maps of the World accompanied by descriptions Geographical, Historical, Scientific, and Statistical”. Gray’s name appears on maps as early as 1869 and his mapping appears to end in 1890. Maps produced by Gray are exceptionally engraved and beautifully hand-colored. It has become difficult to keep up with the demand for his maps. Details on these maps include major cities, rivers, land contours of mountains or other ranges, and countries or counties are separated by colored blocks. This map includes two small inset maps of the Delta of the Nile and island of St. Helena.
