'Map illustrating the Journeys of Dr. W. Junker between the Upper Nile and the Congo, prepared from Dr. Junker’s Original Drawing.'
A strong Central African exploration map based on Dr. Wilhelm Junker’s original drawing. Junker, a Russian explorer of German origin, travelled extensively between the Upper Nile and the Congo, helping clarify the geography of the Nile–Congo watershed and the river systems of north-central Africa. This map records journeys through some of the most important exploratory ground of the period, where scientific geography, route-finding and imperial ambition overlapped. A desirable map for collectors of Congo, Sudan, Nile exploration and nineteenth-century African travel.
