About this Item

Colour folding paper map 34 x 45cm printed in English to one side, Afrikaans to the other. Good condition - worn to folds with small holes at intersections, closed tears, some pen lines to the English side, and a small square of sticker residue to the lower left corner of the Afrikaans side. Colours remain vibrant and attractive. Extremely rare - 2 other copies traced (David Rumsey Collection at Stanford University; Cornell University). Undated but Stanford estimates 1950. SAA introduced its Springbok Service in 1945. The engravers and printers W.B. & D. (apparently based in Durban) were producing maps around this time. This shows international boundaries, SAA standard, tourist, and internal services, main railways and rivers. Seller Inventory # 3937
