Note:
|
Large map of Africa with three inset maps: Egypt, Liberia, and Colony of the Cape of Good Hope. There is also an illustration of the "Comparative Heights of the Principal Mountains of Africa," as well as Statistical Tables. Interestingly, the copyright is by Anthony Finley, 1830. We assume that Tanner also issued similar sized wall maps of Europe, Asia, and Oceania. See our North America and South America.
