Uganda

Lakes, the headwaters of the Nile and the Rwenzori mountains run through the maps of Uganda, from explorers' routes to colonial surveys. Royal Geographical Society material follows the expeditions, government maps chart the protectorate, and regional sheets link the country with Kenya, Tanganyika and the Congo, with close attention to Lake Victoria, Lake Albert and the northern Nile routes. Older labels such as U-Ganda and U-Nyoro preserve the terms of European geographical reporting. The prints show Murchison Falls, court and domestic scenes associated with Buganda, and episodes involving Emin Pasha and Jephson, while later economic, tourist and flag material carries the story into the twentieth century.
