It was crucial, therefore, for the Empire to present itself to Muslims as a friend and protector, and in this, few tasks were more important than engagement with the pilgrimage to Mecca.Every year, tens of thousands of Muslims set out for Mecca from imperial territories throughout Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Men and women representing all economic classes and scores of ethnic and linguistic groups made extraordinary journeys across waterways, deserts, and savannahs, creating huge challenges for officials charged with the administration of these pilgrims. They had to balance the religious obligation to travel against the desire to control the pilgrims' movements, and they became responsible for the care of those who ran out of money.

"one of the most beautiful geological maps ever produced in Australia" (La Trobe) Revised. Six sheet colour printed lithograph map, joined and mounted on canvas. The third geological map of Australia after J. Beete Jukes (a modified Arrowsmith map dated 1850) and Robert Smyth (1873). It is based on Skene and Slight's earlier map 'Continental Australia' (first published October 1879), with a second edition in 1880, followed by various editions, in whole or in part, including being used as the basis for the maps of each colony in the 'Sands Atlas' (1887). Brown reports that "at an 1880-81 exhibition in Melbourne, 'A Geological Sketch Map' of the continent, being the Skene map, hand coloured by Arthur Everett, Chief Draftsman of the Victorian Mining Department, was exhibited. The Department then went ahead with a printed version, as here, issued in November 188, on 6 sheets, printed in 11 colours at a price of £3/10/-. The 'Argus' (26 Nov 1887) commented that "as a specimen of lithographic printing, the map is a creditable work of art, the registry or joining of the various colours being free from overlaps and uncoloured areas". The 'La Trobe Journal' article of 2001 says that four editions of the maps were published in 1887-88, and refers to it as "one of the most beautiful geological maps ever produced in Australia". It comments that most of the known copies are varnished roll maps in poor condition, and that no copy seems to have been kept in the separate sheets as issued". Literature: Clancy, 'Maps that Shaped Australia', pages 17-23.
