The Arabs in Central Africa : (see maps)

Stevenson, James, Russell E. Train Africana Collection (Smithsonian Libraries) DSI · 1888 · [S.l. : s.n.] · 3 pictures

A late nineteenth-century cartographic pamphlet by James Stevenson, published in 1888 with no recorded publisher, mapping Eastern and Central Africa for a general readership interested in Arab trade and the slave trade. The three maps show lakes, routes and shaded territories in plain colour, and a designer could borrow their hand-coloured palette of ochre, green and blue and their dense, legible route networks for infographic or cartographic layouts.
