One of the first post-independence city maps of Nairobi, Kenya. The city is shown as a tidy, well-organized city with a sophisticated road network, railways, and an aerodrome. Curiously, the map's legend is provided in four languages: English, French, Italian, and German. The side margins contain a street index and a list of places of interest.
The map's imprint marks this as the 4th edition of this map. We are aware of two earlier pre-independence editions (published in 1955 and 1962), but have been unable to trace the other pre-1968 edition.
Printed colour. [AFR6263]
