The Times Map of British South Africa, the Transvaal and Orange Free State.
[Times Publications, c.1899.]
Colour lithographic map, folded and laid on wax paper, original cloth gilt covers with publisher's ads. Sheet 960 x 720mm, 36½ x 28¼". Covers soiled and worn.
Map of the early theatre of the Second Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902), with insets of Witwatersrand, the Natal Frontier with Ladysmith, Kimberley and Mafeking. These were the first areas effected by the war: Witwatersrand's gold fields (around Johannesburg) were a main reason for the political destability; and Ladysmith, Kimberley and Makeking were the British townships targeted by the Boers in pre-emptive raids, leading to the famouse sieges.
