General information as to the East Africa Protectorate

Great Britain. Oversea Settlement Office, Russell E. Train Africana Collection (Smithsonian Libraries) DSI · 1919 · London : H.M. Stationery Off. · 2 pictures

This 1919 London government handbook from the Oversea Settlement Office describes the British East Africa Protectorate for prospective settlers and emigrants. Its two pictures are folding-style maps: a small inset plan of Mombasa island with a larger map of the protectorate showing the Uganda Railway, lakes, and tribal areas. A designer could take the crisp hand-drawn cartographic linework, lettering, and the inset-on-main-map layout as a model for technical or colonial-era reference graphics.
