Also published in Stanford’s London Atlas, our example of this map of Africa was separately issued and illustrates the speed and scale of the Scramble for Africa.
The map shows that the Lado Enclave has been ceded to the Congo Free State (which event took place in 1894), although the territory ceded in return is not clearly demarcated.
