Good condition. Former owner's name on front endpaper.

Professor Eric A. Walker's first book. He would later go on to write and publish quite a few books on South African history.

'This atlas is intended primarily to illustrate the history of South Africa south of the Zambezi, but, as it is impossible to understand that history in isolation, maps have been inserted to show the connexion between Africa and the East Indies from the fifteenth to the early nineteenth century. Maps showing the bearing on South African history of the European partition of Africa in the later nineteenth and twentieth centuries, economic maps explaining that partition, and a map of the world in terms of population are also included.'
