Detailed map of Cape Province South Africa with inset vignettes of Graham's Town, Cape Town, and the entrance to the Knysna Lagoon in the Western Cape.
Tallis’s depiction of the Cape Colony of Southern Africa is characteristically attractive with his trademark vignettes. The place names are a mixture of old Dutch from the pre-Napoleonic War to newer settlements now bearing names such as “Clanwilliam”, “George” and “Worcester”.
As usual, the map was drawn and engraved by J. Rapkin while the vignettes were added by H. Warren and H. Bond.
