Dear all,

Our Map Collection has been donated a framed copy of a map titled "Nyasaland
Protectorate, Central Africa".  It is drawn at a scale of 8.89 miles to one
inch.  At the bottom of the map is the name Helen Maclaren R.O.I.  The map
was printed in England by Vincent Brooks, Day & Son, London.  The map
measures 60 x 147cm. and shows rivers, communications, and numerous
delightful sketches of people, animals, birds and a few buildings.

Does anyone know anything more about this map, please.  I guess it must have
been published after 1907, because that is when Nyasaland acquired its name.
