This Italian-language map illustrates the geographical regions of Egypt and Abyssinia (modern-day Ethiopia and Eritrea) and surrounding areas, extending from the Mediterranean Sea in the north to the Equator in the south.
The map includes detailed representations of terrain features such as deserts, mountains, and rivers, as well as settlements and administrative boundaries. The scale of the map is 1:4,827,942, and it provides translations for various geographic terms from English to Italian.
Notable regions and features, such as the Libyan Desert, the Nile River, the Red Sea, and Lake Albert, are prominently marked. The map also indicates areas of historical and geographical significance, such as natron springs and hot springs.
We have been unable to trace the maker, but it was certainly made in Italy in the closing decades of the 19th century.
