    fullsizeoutput_9689.jpeg fullsizeoutput_968a.jpeg fullsizeoutput_9688.jpeg fullsizeoutput_9687.jpeg fullsizeoutput_9686.jpeg This in some haste...another similar German map of Sud Africa I'll post tomorrow.

    This was cut from a book, apparently. ~15" X ~9", on thin, old paper.

    Not much to say about it...I don't read German, and few of these have dates on them.

    Is there a market for old cartographic work?

    Probably I should check eBay, huh? Thanks for lookin'...

    Edit: Should be Die vs Der in the Title...an' Neger vs Niger. Good grief!

    If Gestochen is the first word, Google translate gives "Punched"...an' if the o is changed to an 'e', it comes up the same! Middle initial or abbreviation may be a 'c'...an' then Gysin. ? I'm over my head here...
