Photolithographic print, with contemporary manuscript additions in coloured crayon and red and black pen, mounted upon original linen, curiously with the panels of an Italian map of Dalmatia mounted to verso (Good, some wear and toning along old folds, one panel toned, a few small stains, a tiny piece of blank margin excised in lower left corner), 80.5 x 75.5 cm (31.5 x 29.5 inches). A seemingly unrecorded special 'emergency' issue of Max Moisel's groundbreaking map of Deutsch-Ostafrika (today's mainland Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi), issued in haste by British War Office immediately following the outbreak of World War I, whereupon East Africa became a surprisingly intense conflict theatre; the present example bearing evidence of field use, featuring contemporary manuscript additions. - Upon the outbreak of World War I, Britain was determined to invade the German colony of Deutsch-Ostafrika (comprising today's mainland Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi). They expected to easily roll over the small and poorly armed Schutztruppe, the German colonial defense force, attaining complete victory in only a matter of weeks. However, to almost everyone's surprise, the regional German commander, Colonel Emil von Lettow-Vorbeck, later known as the 'Lion of Africa', galvanized his rag-tag army into a disciplined and wiley guerilla movement that drew the dramatically largee British imperial forces into an endless series of deadly ambushes and wild goose chases, depleting their numbers and dampening their morale. While the British eventually conquered Deutsch-Ostafrika, at the end of the war Lettow-Vorbeck remained on the offensive, unvanquished, and was only compelled to surrender upon the general capitulation of Germany in November 1918. In the summer of 1914, at the start of hostilities on East Africa, the British high command, despite their optimism and enthusiasm, had a problem. They knew that invading Deutsch-Ostafrika would involve irregular combat in rugged, and often exotic terrain, little known to virtually any of their troops. In this context, access to accurate, scientific cartography would be not merely important, but absolutely critical. Fortunately, the Germans had long published what was the only existing accurate general map of the colony, predicated upon systematic surveys sponsored in the late 1890s by their Colonial Ministry, being Max Moisel's Deutsch-Ostafrika. Neubearbeitung von Max Moisel, issued in several updated editions from 1900 until the eve of the war. However, the British War Office and associated entities possessed only a few examples of the Moisel map, far less than what was needed for distribution to high-level planners in London, let alone field commanders operating in Africa. The present map represents the provisional solution to this problem. In the earliest days of the war, the Geographical Section of the General Staff (GSGS) of the War Office, the entity responsible for the British Army's cartographic programmes, acquired a late edition of Moisel's Deutsch-Ostafrika, and had it hastily and crudely photographically printed at the Ordnance Survey Office in Southampton, which was responsible for producing many of the the GSGS's maps. The result is the present work, which was almost certainly the very first general map of German East Africa produced by the British military during World War I and would have been made in only a handful of examples to be rushed out to very senior strategists and field commanders. As a comparison between the present work and the Moisel map demonstrates, the Southampton edition faithfully duplicates all of the details of the antecedent, bearing the same scale of 1:2,000,000; however, here it has been retitled into the English language, while the original map's German language legend and the regional inset map had been covered up (leaving a large blank space in the lower-left quadrant), while the scope has been truncated to leave out what could have been considered to be the Moisel map's superfluous coverage of the areas to the north and south of Deutsch-Ostafrika (i.e. leaving out parts of Mozambique and Nyasaland, in the south, and the farther reaches of Lake Victoria, in the north).

General Staff map of Nanking Coloured lithograph map dissected into 32 (4 by 8) sections mounted on linen. Scale 1:250,000 Nanking in 1927 was a treaty port located on the southern shores of the Yangtze River. Because the foreign interests in China were largely American and European, squadrons of foreign naval vessels were stationed along the Yangtze to protect their citizens doing business at the treaty ports. The British Royal Navy operated the China Station under Rear Admiral Sir Reginald Tyrwhitt and the United States Navy the Yangtze Patrol; both lasted for around 80 years until World War II.

Hong Kong - the ailing Qing dynasty leased to Great Britain, 1898 Colour lithographed map, dissected and mounted on linen, folding map. An early, attractive, and detailed map of Hong Kong and the New Territories first published in 1905 and re-issued with additions in 1922. From another example of this chart we have handled, it appears that the coastline from Sai Kung to Mirs Point onwards was taken from Admiralty charts; that of Deep Bay, from the mouth of the Sham Chun River to South-West Point, from a survey by the P.W.D.; thence northward and westward from Admiralty charts; that of Lan Tao and adjacent islands from a 1-inch map compiled by Tate; and the New Territories from a map compiled by W. J. Newland in 1903-04, with additions and revisions by P.W.D. in 1913 and 1922. As listed in the Reference table, the map shows Important Villages & Market Places; Villages; Churches & Mission Stations; Pagodas & Temples; Pass; Heights in Feet above Sea Level; Bridges; Limit of Navigation for Large Junks; Cart Roads; Pack Roads & Paths; Telegraphs; Tramways; Boundary of British Territory; and Railways. "The local spelling of place-names has been followed". This map has been compiled from Existing Intelligence Division maps of Hong Kong; Admiralty Charts; Map of New Territory Kowloon, compiled by Mr. Tate for Colonial Government Survey 1899 1900; Survey of Kowloon and part of New Territory (8 In. 1 Mile) carried out in 1902-1903. The boundary along the Shores of Mirs Bay and Deep Bay is the High Water Mark. It has not yet been surveyed and is only shown provisionally. Geographical Section General Staff No. 1393.
