About this Item

ALGERIA,MOROCCO,TUNISIA,1894 Antique Colour Map HISTORICAL MAP CHART SHOWING LOCAL TOPOGRAPHY Algeria - officially the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria , is a country in north Africa, and the second largest country on the African continent, Sudan being the largest. It is bordered by Tunisia in the northeast, Libya in the east, Niger in the southeast, Mali and Mauritania in the southwest, and Morocco as well as a few kilometers of its annexed territory, Western Sahara, in the west. Constitutionally, it is defined as an Islamic, Arab, and Amazigh (Berber) country. The name Algeria is derived from the name of the city of Algiers, from the Arabic word al-jaza-?ir, which translates as the islands, referring to the four islands which lay off that city's coast until becoming part of the mainland in 1525; al-jaza-?ir is itself short for the older name jaza-?ir bani- mazghanna-, "the islands of (the tribe) Bani Mazghanna", used by early medieval geographers such as al-Idrisi and Yaqut al-Hamawi. 1890s Wood Engraving, Antique Map Approximate Overall Size: 12 X 9 1/2 inches CONDITION: Book Plate Map - Excellent Condition.
