Following on from ” Ethiopia Engraved”, an illustrated book of engraving by foreign travellers from 1681 to 1900, ” Ethiopia Photographed” covers the inception of photography in the country up until the Italian Fascist invasion in 1936. The people, terrain, buildings & rulers of Ethiopia
- such as the Emperor Menelik & the Emperor Haile Selassie
- make it a highly photogenic country, as this illustrated book reveals. Situated in lofty, often inaccessible mountains between the Red Sea & the Blue Nile, & extending far into the Horn of Africa, it is a complex & mysterious country which has always exercised an extraordinary fascination for the outside world. The book begins with an introduction which gives a brief history of Ethiopia in this period, & describes the role of photography in this time. Through the rich captured visuals in ” Ethiopia Photographed”, the reader may pay witness to many personalities & places not previously seen &, in many cases, now lost for all time but for the photographic memories compiled here.

Map No. L-6A in the TPC series: military topographic survey mapping covering the world's land masses & significant islands at 1:500, 000. The maps are useful as general topographical coverage where nothing else is available, although they are designed primarily as flying charts for military aircraft. TPC stands for Tactical Pilotage Chart. Relief is portrayed by a combination of contours (basic interval 500ft, intermediate contours shown where appropriate), elevation tinting & relief shading, plus spot heights. Towns, villages, major roads, railways & airports are shown but please note that many of the smaller settlements are not named & the road information is not necessarily up to date, as compilation & revision dates vary. Some air navigation information also appears on the map, such as radio beacons & restricted flying zones. Each TPC chart has both UTM & latitude/longitude grids overprinted on it, with additional margin ticks. IMPORTANT
- PLEASE NOTE: The series is gradually being withdrawn from sale to the general public & some sheets may no longer be available when ordered by us. Due to the nature of the map projection assembling these sheets to make a larger map is not recommended. in addition, colours used for relief are not constant throughout the series. In some areas of central Africa & South America the maps have blank spaces, reflecting localized deficiencies or inconsistencies in the survey data.
