Volume VII of the UNESCO General History of Africa examines the period of partition, conquest and occupation from the beginning of the 'European Scramble for Africa' to the Italian fascist invasion of Ethiopia in 1935. Throughout the volume, the focus is directed towards the responses of Africans themselves to the challenge of colonialism. The first two chapters survey African attitudes and readiness on the eye of the colonial era, and the background to European imperial ambitions. The next seven chapters discuss African initiatives and reactions in the face of partition and conquest up to the First World War. A general overview is followed by more detailed regional analyses. Chapters 13 to 21 concern the impact of economic and social aspects of colonial systems in Africa from 1919 until 1935: the operation of the colonial economy in the former French, Belgian, Portuguese and British zones and North Africa; the emergence of new social structures and demographic patterns and the role of religion and the arts in Africa during the colonial period. The final section traces the growth of anti-colonial movements, the strengthening of African political nationalism and the interaction between black Africa and blacks of the New World. Liberia and Ethiopia are discussed in special chapters. Each chapter is illustrated with black and white photographs, maps and figures. The text is fully annotated and there is an extensive bibliography of works relating to the period.

No Binding. Condition: Very Good. Colour printed paper map 97x86cm. Very good, neatly folded with closed fold tears. Compiled, engraved and printed by the General Drafting Co. Ltd, New York. Undated, but Worldcat entries generally estimate 1918-19. This is about consistent with the Turkish (Ottoman) border still extending through Mesopotamia to the head of the Persian Gulf. The Journal of the American Asiatic Association ran from 1898-1946. In 1917 it was bought by Willard and Dorothy Straight who prefixed the name with "Asia". Drawing on their experience promoting US trade and investment in Korea and China, it became a vehicle for the Straights to promote US influence across Asia by overcoming "the ignorance of our people" (March 1917 issue). This map was issued with that aim in mind. Centred on the Chinese Republic, coverage is bounded by Scotland (NW), the Gulf of Anadyr (NE), Arapura Sea (SE), and Arabian Sea (SW) on a scale of about 1 inch to 190 miles. Australia is shown in an inset at about 1 inch to 270 miles, with an inset for Tasmania. Details include international and provincial boundaries, 4 classes of settlement, 2 classes of railroad, caravan routes, steamship routes with distances, canals, heads of navigation, and seaports. Symbols are used for 17 types of mineral, agricultural product and fisheries, with several other resources or products named in the image. India for example is shown as widely rich in cattle and teak, with other significant resources including buffalo, sheep, jute, iron, coal and salt. The pre-oil Arabian Peninsula is labelled with pearls on the Persian Gulf and Red Sea coasts (the former naming Sharjah and Ras al Khaimah), dates, camels, horses, myrrh, and frankincense.

Condition: Very Good. Cartography by General Drafting Co., New York. (illustrator). The boating map that sold Florida before Disney Large-format illustrated cruising chart produced by Standard Oil during the postwar leisure-boating boom, covering the Intracoastal Waterway and Gulf Coast routes from Savannah through Florida to New Orleans. Designed as both a functional navigation aid and a promotional travel object, the chart blends precise coastal cartography with pictorial lighthouse vignettes and regional landmarks, making it equally appealing to navigators and collectors of mid-century American ephemera. Physical description: Single large double-sided printed sheet, folded as issued, multiple-color offset lithography on thin stock, nautical soundings, route lines, compass roses, lighthouse and harbor illustrations, key map and legend panels, Standard Oil branding and General Drafting imprint present, approximate unfolded size large-format, exact measurements to be supplied. Condition: Paper is clean and supple with light, even age toning, original folds intact, minor handling wear at fold intersections, no losses, no tape repairs, graphics remain sharp and legible throughout, folds remain sound, issued folding format restated. Scarcity note: Surviving examples are increasingly scarce in clean, complete condition, particularly double-sided sheets retaining strong color and intact folds, most examples encountered show heavier fold wear or staining. The Southern Cruising Guide reflects the moment when recreational boating became accessible to middle-class Americans, supported by improved waterways, standardized navigation aids, and the rise of automobile and petroleum-sponsored tourism. General Drafting's crisp cartography is softened by charming illustrative elements that turn functional navigation into visual storytelling. The chart reads as both a working tool and a piece of Americana, merging maritime precision with aspirational travel culture. Historical significance Issued as part of Standard Oil's broader travel and mobility outreach, the chart illustrates how petroleum companies positioned themselves as partners in leisure and exploration, not merely fuel suppliers. It documents the growth of Florida and Gulf Coast boating infrastructure just prior to the massive postwar development boom, making it a valuable artifact for maritime, regional, and advertising history. Subjects: Intracoastal Waterway, Florida Gulf Coast, Recreational boating history, Maritime navigation, Petroleum advertising, Mid-century American design Maps and charts, Printed ephemera, Nautical material Single-sheet, double-sided folding nautical chart.

Condition: Fine. " Nearly all road maps point North. But we've found that many travelers turn their maps upside down when going South.So Esso has designed this special map for the increasing number of drivers who go South each season." - Text, center left.

Condition: Very Good. "It's perhaps not surprising that the General Drafting Company, a subsidiary of Standard Oil, would be interested in promoting (and heavily lobbying for) the construction of the Pan American highway. First conceived in 1923, construction by individual countries on their respective portion of the road would not begin until 1937. This map was published a few years later, likely around 1941 or 1942 based on population statistics on the verso. Completed and projected routes are shown in solid and hashed red lines, while numerous vignettes scattered throughout the image illustrate local industries, scenery, influential figures, and landmarks. Accompanying the map is extensive text presenting the Americas as a cohesive entity, unified by miles of pavement and asphalt. " The leading civil engineers of the Americas have conquered equatorial swamps, landslides, burning deserts, and snowy peaks so that someday the motorists of two continents may visit their neighbors swiftly, safely, and in comfort." The threat of global war also likely contributed to these suggested feelings of Pan-American harmony." Sheet Width (in) 18 Sheet Height (in) 24.5 Condition Description Color map/brochure printed on both sides. Scattered spotting along the outer edges of the sheet, concentrated most heavily in the lower corners and upper right margin. Soft creasing along old fold lines (as issued) and light toning on the verso that does not affect the image.

Condition: Fine. "The " Jamestown Festival" took place over an eighth month period in Virginia during 1957, to celebrate the 350th anniversary of the settlement's founding. This pictorial map was issued to commemorate the event and provides a historical overview of life in colonial America between the original landing at Jamestown and the Revolution. Numerous vignettes accompanied by succinct captions highlight many of the important places, people, and events that led to the formation of the United States in the late 18th century. The various flags of colonial America can be seen at the top of the sheet, while a brief paragraph provides a whitewashed summary of the events that led to the conquest of the continent. The verso shows vivid reproductions of several early important maps of America, including John Smith's map of Virginia, John White's map of North Carolina, and surveys of New York, Philadelphia, Boston, and New Orleans. Published in 1957 by the General Drafting Company on behalf of Esso Oil."

Condition: Fine. This lovely map of the United States was issued by the General Drafting Company in 1976 to celebrate America's 200th birthday.

Bright colors highlight each major acquisition, with the major trails that facilitated Westward Expansion also colored and labeled.

The verso presents a pictorial map of America in colonial times, from the earliest European settlers to the outbreak of the Revolution. Sheet Width (in) 33.75 Sheet Height (in) 23.25 Condition Description Creasing along originally issued fold lines, otherwise in fine condition overall.
