Colton 1855 Antique Map of South Africa Reviews
This incredibly detailed map shows the southern portion of Africa, last bastion of European colonization. Much of the interior of the continent was still unexplored. It shows the political divisions, roads, major cities and towns of the time. It is a fine example of the beautiful and subtle color lithography used by many European map makers in the latter half of the 19th century. If you are looking for an unusual piece of art, to decorate a home or office, this truly "limited-edition" print is perfect. Antique maps are extraordinary examples of the 19th Century printing and engraving arts. As conversation pieces they are unequaled. This beautiful old map is an actual snapshot of our history. Any of these, increasingly rare, works of art are also some of the most thoughtful (and personal) gifts you can give. Unlike so many other gifts, antique maps and prints allow you to present someone a piece of their past.
