Add to basketSoft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. The confidential first edition dated March 1919, prepared for the British Delegation to the Paris Peace Conference (a second declassified edition made available to the public without the map appeared in 1920, retitled "Tanganyika (German East Africa)" and renumbered No. 113). Origin…al grey printed card wraps 14x22cm. vi, 117pp, complete with the colour folding map in a back pocket. Very good, lightly bumped and creased to the corners, tanned to the spine, blue crayon number to the front. Map spotted, neatly folded with short closed fold tears. Chapters describe physical and human geography, political history (starting with Portuguese influence through to Arab rule, British and German interests, and native opposition), social and political conditions, and economy, with Treaty extracts in the Appendices. No authors are indicated, but it was a collective effort, with the series edited by George Walter Prothero, Director of the Historical Section, which had been established purposely by the Foreign Office. Histories were voluntarily contributed by experts, geography by Naval Intelligence Division staff, and economics by the Foreign Office War Trade Intelligence Department. The map is by the Geographical Section General Staff of the War Office: "General Map of German East Africa", GSGS No. 2814, War Office, July 1916. 80x78cm, 1/2M, bounded by Lake Victoria (N), the Swahili coast from Lamu to Pekavi with Zanzibar about midway (E), the border with Portuguese East Africa (S), and Lake Tanganyika (W). Features include railways, roads (mostly fit for light wheeled traffic), important tracks and routes, marshes, mission stations, and international boundaries. This edition appears to be very rare, with Worldcat and Library Hub locating copies at the British Museum and British Library only (OCLC 558925343).

Add to basketNo Binding. Condition: Very Good. Original British military topographical map of western Afghanistan, sheet size 48.2 × 63.1 cm, published within the Geographical Section, General Staff quarter-inch series at the scale of 1:253,440 or one inch to four miles. The underlying cartography is designated First Edition, 1941, but this…particular physical impression was printed in 1949 in a stated run of only 1,000 copies. The sheet covers parts of the Farah and Herat Provinces close to the Iranian frontier, recording roads, tracks, caravan routes, settlements, camps, wells, springs, cultivated areas and extensive desert and mountain terrain, with relief printed in brown. It was compiled principally from North-West Frontier Sheet 12 S.E., First Edition, with additions to 1936 and other available sources. The 1949 printing belongs to a significant transitional period following the end of the Second World War and the independence of India and Pakistan, when Afghanistan remained strategically important between Iran, the Soviet sphere and the newly reorganised political geography of South Asia. Closely related Afghanistan mapping was subsequently reprinted by the U.S. Army Map Service; Western Michigan University preserves numerous AMS U511 sheets derived from earlier British G.S.G.S. and Survey of India cartography, including Farah-area mapping. The stated 1,000-copy print run gives this impression particular scarcity interest. Very good condition, retaining original folds, with light handling and creasing, minor age-related marking and some localised wear and short tearing to the right-hand margin; complete and strongly legible.

Add to basketNo Binding. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Colour printed paper map 74x58cm, with index map, keys and aeronautical data to the verso. Very good, neatly folded. This first GSGS edition dated 1953, was based on a USAF Pilotage Chart (1948, revised June 1952), with air information supplied by the Ministry of Defence as at Novem…ber 1952, and reproduced by the Ordnance Survey in an edition of 5,000 in July 1953 (5,000/7/53).

Add to basketNo Binding. Condition: Very Good. Large original British military strategic map measuring 76.1 × 103.6 cm, published by the Geographical Section, General Staff at the scale of 1:4,000,000. A visually impressive wartime map covering a vast area from the Balkans, Turkey and the eastern Mediterranean across Cyprus, Syria, Lebanon,…Palestine, Transjordan, Iraq and Iran to the Persian Gulf, and southwards into Egypt and Libya. Major centres including Cairo, Jerusalem, Haifa, Beirut, Damascus, Aleppo, Baghdad, Basra, Tehran and Istanbul are shown, together with roads, railways, relief, hydrography and strongly emphasised international and administrative boundaries. The 1941 date is of particular significance, placing the map within a year in which British and Allied forces were engaged across the Western Desert, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon and in the joint Anglo-Soviet occupation of Iran, while the region's oilfields, ports and communications routes were of exceptional strategic importance. Institutional examples are recorded at Yale University Library and the National Library of Israel, while Cambridge University Library preserves an archival record for The Near and Middle East, 1940-1941. The map was also specifically listed among the cartographic materials supplied to the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine, demonstrating its continued official relevance after the war. Very good condition, retaining original folds with light handling and creasing, minor marginal wear and slight age-related marking; complete, clean and particularly attractive in its blue, brown, green and purple printing.

This sheet, dating to the early years of the Egyptian Republic, was based on a USAF World Aeronautical Chart dated March 1953. Coverage is bounded by the Gilf Kebir Plateau (…N), Selima Oasis (uninhabited) (SE), the Libyan / Anglo-Egyptian Sudan border (SW), and Jebels Uweinat and Arkenu (W). Altitude is shown by colour tinting. Geographical features are accompanied by numerous captions describing the terrain such as variations in sand and gravel, barchan dune formations, etc. The "Memorial monument" south of Gilf Kebir would be the Prince Kemal el-Din Monument, which Laszlo Almasy had built in 1934 for his late patron and friend (1874-1932) close to where he had discovered the Cave of Swimmers. Among the several criss-crossing tracks would be the Darb al Arbain (or 40 Days Road), identifiable by its stops at Laqiya Arbain, Selima Oasis (where it splits), and El Shab.

Originally published in 1918, this includes revisions to boundaries and railways with minor corrections dated 1931.

This is shown in some detail, including the Oases of Kharga, Dakhla, Farafra, Baharia, Siwa, Kufra, and smaller ones, dune fields by stippling. Of great interest are the numerous tracks, among them Darb el Arbain, Darb el Tawil, the Great Caravan Route to Wadai, Caravan Route to Kufra etc, as well as traces of an old route to passing through an uninhabited oasis with little water south of Kufra. G. Owenat (Jebel Uweinat) is marked at the very lower edge. Notes describe the extent of vegetation, incidence of water, and the nature of the desert surface (eg, stone or sand). Spot heights.

Large colour-printed British government topographical map of the entire island of St Helena, measuring 64.2 × 88.7 cm and produced at the highly detailed scale of 1:25,344 or 2½ i…nches to one statute mile. Originally published by the War Office in 1904, the sheet carries the designation Second Edition, 1941, while the printer's information on this particular example records an Ordnance Survey printing in 1959 in a stated run of only 500 copies; it is therefore correctly described as a 1959 printing of the Second Edition dated 1941 rather than as a physical 1941 printing. The map gives exceptionally detailed complete-island coverage, including Jamestown, James Bay, Longwood, Ladder Hill, Deadwood, Sandy Bay, Plantation House, Prosperous Bay and Rupert's Valley, together with roads, tracks, settlements, buildings, watercourses, coastal features and the island's dramatic mountainous relief. The 1941 edition date gives the cartography an important Second World War association: St Helena maintained military defences and supported British naval and communications activity in the South Atlantic, while in October 1941 the Royal Fleet Auxiliary tanker RFA Darkdale was torpedoed and sunk by German submarine U-68 in James Bay. The present impression itself was printed later, in 1959, and no claim is made for wartime use. St Helena is also internationally famous as the place of Napoleon Bonaparte's final exile from 1815 until his death in 1821 and occupies an important place in British imperial and maritime history. An example of G.S.G.S. 1853A, Second Edition, is recorded in the former Foreign & Commonwealth Office archive inventory with the date 1941, although the inventory does not identify the impression date of that particular copy. At the time of cataloguing we have been unable to trace another clearly identified example of this 1959 printing of 500 copies currently offered commercially. Very good condition, complete, with strong printed detail and attractive colour, light handling, minor creasing and slight marginal marking.
