"Philips' New Series of Travelling Maps:

Africa North East (With Index)".

 published by the prominent British cartographic firm George Philip & Son.

Publisher: Founded by Scottish cartographer George Philip in 1834, the company became one of the most successful commercial map publishers of the 19th and 20th centuries

Publication Date: This specific "New Series of Travelling Maps" case design was published between 1910 and 1930. Variations of this specific regional layout (often including Egypt) are most dated to the 1920s and 1930s

Fully opened the map measures 26 inches by 21 inches approx. ( 66cm by 53cm approx.) and closed the cloth covers measure 7.25 inches by 4 inches approx. ( 18cm by 10cm approx.)

It consists of a large, highly detailed engraved paper map that has been laid on linen backing so it can be easily folded down into this protective blue cloth cover.

The coverage includes Anglo-Egyptian Sudan and Egypt, Abyssinia (modern-day Ethiopia) The Horn of Africa (Somaliland) British East Africa (extending down to Kenya Colony and Uganda

The "Egypt" Boundary (1919–1922): The map outlines a vast, pink-shaded territory covering Egypt and the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. The pink shading indicates a British imperial sphere of influence. This matches the era of the British Protectorate over Egypt, which ended in 1922 when Egypt gained nominal independence.

German East Africa/Tanganyika Territory (Post-WWI): The green/shaded area below Lake Victoria has been redrawn following the Treaty of Versailles (1919). This confirms the map was published after World War I, rather than during the late 19th-century "Scramble for Africa."

CONDITION
