Vintage 1836 North Africa or Barbary I Morocco Map

Description: Thank you for taking an interest in this original, steel-engraved map of North Africa or Barbary I - Marocco, by the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge (SDUK), published as part of the Society's Atlas in 1844, in London, by Chapman and Hall. The SDUK began its map publishing project under the leadership of Captain Francis Beaufort R.N. in 1829, and published the maps in parts, haltingly, over the next 15 years, completing the series in 1844, finally permitting the publication of a whole atlas. Many of the maps were actually drawn by Beaufort, who at the time was the Hydrographer to the Royal Navy, and all were closely supervised by him. J. & C. Walker worked closely with Beaufort in engraving the maps. Finely engraved, these maps set a standard of excellence for commercial map-makers in England for decades to come. Dimensions 16"x 13 " overall. In good condition given the age of the map. There are signs of ageing and wear along the edges and corners. There is a small tear along the edge at the 10 o'clock position.Please view photos to assess the condition and I will be happy to answer any questions you might have about this item. This item and many other vintage items were purchased at a barn sale a few years ago in Arizona
