Show moreWorld map from the 1840 General Atlas of the World published by Adam & Charles Black. The map is a good reflection of contemporary cartographic knowledge of the world. At this time the coastlines of the world with the exception of the polar regions had largely been explored. For this reason depiction of the polar regions are absent for the Antarctic and mostly unfinished in the case of the Arctic. The interiors of central Asia, South America, the western United States, Australia, and especially Africa are largely speculative. The continents are outlined in different colors. Later editions of this map in Blacks General Atlas used solid colors to define the continents. This map was engraved by George Aikman who also produced the illustrations for the 7th edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica also published by A & C Black. Publisher: Best known for publishing Whos Who and the seventh edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica, the Edinburgh based firm of Adam & Charles Black was founded in 1807 and also published a series of popular travel guides (Blacks Guides) as well as the General Atlas of the World from 1840-1898 for which this map was made. engd. by G.

They were probably Greek Cypriots, although it has been suggested they may have come from Crete. Nothing is known of them before their first photographs were published in Egypt in the late 1870s, and even the names of the brothers themselves is unknown. It has been suggested their initials were C and G, and indeed early 20th century photographic postcards bearing the name C Zangaki have been located. Their photographs, however, were simply identified as Zangaki, the letter Z being frequently mistaken for a stylized L in several books, resulting in their work being incorrectly ascribed to Langaki. Indeed, until relatively recently, there was assumed to be one photographer with the name of A Zangaki until the discovery of a signboard bearing the legend Adelphoi Zangaki confirmed that the images were the work of brothers. While their GreekCypriot or Cretanroots are confirmed, the horse-drawn darkroom van with which they toured the length of the Nile bore the legend Zangaki Brothers, and to further confuse matters, the majority of their images are titled (in the negatives) in French. Amongst many fine images are photographs taken after the bombardment of Alexandria in 1882, and some eloquent commentaries on the popularity of the Grand Tour of Egypt in the 1880s."
