Old Map of South Africa, 1860 - British & Dutch Cape Colony - Durban, Pretoria, Cape Town, Botswana, Namibia malaria human featuresThis is a delightful, rare, handcoloured map of South Africa, originally published by Fullarton & Co in 1860. Old maps of South Africa are particularly rare, particularly high quality maps like these from the colonial era. This map captures South Africa at the height of European colonialism. South Africa itself doesn't exist it's the Cape Colony here, named after the Cape of Good Hope. There's even something called the "Orange Free State" and
