![L'afrique suivant les connaissances géographiques actuelles [map of Africa]](https://library.uta.edu/digitalgallery/sites/library.uta.edu.digitalgallery/files/20080000-20089999/20086434.jpg)
Titled: "Africa following the current geographical knowledge." This old and authentic map represents the continent of Africa. Note the large poorly charted areas and errors. The most egregious is this famous Lake "Oukérévé" or Lake Victoria. Jean-Henri Schnitzler, born in Strasbourg in 1802, was a great Alsatian historian and keen on statistics. Professor in Russia for nearly 5 years, he knew this area very well and was the author of numerous books on this Empire. His maps testify to his love of history and statistics: they include a large number of mostly historical information, but are simple and easy to read. Verso is blank. 37 cm. x 56 cm. [Gift of Dr. Jack Franke]
