190029227London: George Philip & Son Ltd. ca.1900. Early printing of this map by the cartographic publishing company. Finely rendered in colours. Large multi-folding map approximately 22" x 27" publisher's original protective wrappers printed in black. A very fine copy pristine and very near to mint. George Philip was born in Huntly Aberdeenshire to a staunchly Calvinist family but in 1819 George traveled to Liverpool where his brother Robert who was a nonconformist minister lived. In 1819 he became assistant to the Liverpool bookseller William Grapel and in 1834 set up his own business as a bookseller and stationer in Paradise Street Liverpool. He rapidly expanded the business by producing books particularly educational works and maps. Within his first year of trading to keep up with demand he had to move his business into larger premises at the Atlas Buildings in South Castle Street. <br> Philip used cartographers such as John Bartholomew the elder August Petermann and William Hughes to produce maps on copper plates. Philip then had these printed and hand-coloured by his women tinters. By the time he produced his county maps of 1862 he was using machine coloured maps produced on power-driven lithographic presses. 'His maps ranged from the expensive Imperial Library Atlas 1864 to an atlas costing as little as 3d. and although the bulk of his production was for the commercial and particularly the educational market he also produced important scientific maps notably of North America especially the Arctic and Pacific Northwest Africa and of the West Indies.<br> This is a very fine copy of a scarce map showing the extent of European possessions in North-East Africa before the end of the colonial period.
