Rwanda's place in the Great Lakes region can be followed here from exploration maps through colonial tourism to later national geography. Scott Elliott's East African mapping and Hore's map of the Tanganyika basin sit beside wider sheets of Uganda and its neighbours. Mid-twentieth-century pictorial maps by Josse Léonard and James Thiriar include Ruanda-Urundi in a promoted Congo travel circuit, and later maps turn to the economy, agriculture and resources. Flag plates record different periods of the state's history.
