Description: Lake Erie Maps & Prints Ebay Store!An Original Antique Map: Not a Modern ReproductionWe are Glad to Combine Multiple Maps and Prints along with the Largest at no Extra ChargeTitle: Reduktion von H.M. Stanley's Originalkarte von Flussgebiet des Congo [Probably one of the earliest printings, besides newspaper accounts, of Stanley's exploration of the Congo, which opened up the region to the Belgian King Leopoldo that would become known as the Belgian Congo. Earlier in 1871, Stanley had become familiar with the area in his search for Livingstone and the source of the Nile, returning in 1877 as Leopoldo's agent to expand the Belgian Empire into Congo River Basin. Petermann's map is a reduction of Stanley's actual map.]Description: It is an original antique map approximately 150 years old with a centerfold as issued. It is from the 1877 edition of August Petermann's Geographische Mitteilungen, published in Gotha by Justus Perthes, a copy of the title page is included. The map is well documented with the date of 1877 in the bottom margin and the title of the publication and printing/publishing info in small print around the margins, see the pics. Petermann was very important in the formation of the Gotha School or Petermann School of cartography, which produced some of the most accurate maps of the 19th century. Petermann published many of the new cartographic findings based on explorations and new information in the Mittheilungen, which he began in 1855, a remarkable publication during the period and one that continued long after his death until 2004. Certainly the maps of the last half of the 19th century in which Petermann had control are of rare quality and document, in many cases for the first time, exploration routes and new land forms. The map is not mounted nor matted, being sold as a single sheet as seen in the first pic. Size: The map image measures approximately 9 3/4 by 12 1/4 inches (24x31cm) on a 10 3/4 by 13" page (27x33cm) as seen in the pic with a wide margin all around for framing as seen in the main pic.Condition: The map is in Very Good condition with overall tonal aging, basically as seen in the pics. Other than a couple fo vry minor spots and a couple of soft creases in the top margin hardly worth mentioning, it is very clean and bright, printed on heavy paper, blank on the reverse with a vertical fold as issued. The pics are of the actual map. Payment Details: We accept most major credit cards through Paypal and Ebay. Please ask if you have any questions about other forms of payment.
