This is a fascinating example of Conrad Malte-Brun's 1843 map of Africa. The map covers the entire continent from the Mediterranean Sea to Cape Colony and from the Atlantic Ocean to Madagascar and the Seychelles Islands in the Indian Ocean. An interesting map issued just as most of the earth's non-Polar shores were finally explored. Inland though, much remained unknown. The present map exhibits various speculations regarding the unexplored interior of Africa. The course of the White Nile shown here is speculative at best, neither Mt. Kenya nor Mt. Kilimanjaro are present, the apocryphal Mountains of the Moon stretch across the continent, and what may be some sort of Proto-Lake Victoria is identified here as Lac Ouiffua.

At the time this map was made, the slave trade, thriving since the 5th century was rapidly diminishing due to decreased demand for slaves in the New World, the British outlawing of slavery in 1808, and subsequent diplomatic efforts including treaties with over 50 African rulers outlawing the practice. Many African economies adapted by shifting to the export of mineral and agricultural resources, which led to the european scramble for territory, occupying most of the continent by the end of the 19th century. europe's colonial interests in Africa haphazardly carved up the continent into unnatural territories, often forcing historic enemies into close proin ximity and leading to social problems that remain to this day. Various important rivers, islands, lakes, mountains, cities and other topographical details are noted with relief shown by hachures. The boundaries of countries and territories are outlined in color. This map was issued as plate nos. 69 and 70 in Conrad Malte-Brun's 1843 Precis de la Geographie Universelle.

Excellent set of leveling blocks
Size: 8.5" x 8.5", Color: Yellow
These leveling blocks work very well for our Airstream interstate 19. They pack very compactly and seem to stay in place when we are upon them. I would recommend they be purchased if you need a set of leveling box

Leveling blocks
Size: 8.5" x 8.5", Color: Yellow
I used these on my first RV camping trip. I was on a not very level site and these worked well to level my camper. They worked so well I ordered another set. The handle is great at keeping the blocks together.

Very happy.
Size: 8.5" x 8.5", Color: Yellow
Bought these at the start of our camping season. I really prefer these to the ones you drive up on that are like a ramp. Besides leaving out under your wheels they can be used for your stabilizer feet as well or your hitch. Quality is great I have not had one crack, I was worried these would be too big to pull my tires over easily but that wasn’t a problem at all. The size allows you to group them together like legos to do what you need to get level. They come in a bundle with a handle that secures them all together in a nice lightweight block that’s easy to store. I actually bought a second set for my fifth wheel after buying the first set. I got them both on sale and am very very happy with them.

Great alternative to wood blocks
Size: 17" x 8.5", Color: Gray, Size: 17" x 8.5", Color: Gray
So I’ve used wood over the years to level out my Class A RV’s and even with the wood sealed, there is always one side that takes a beating. I figured I would try these Camco rectangular leveling blocks and was very surprised at their strength. I’ve only used them twice, but both times the RV rolled right up with no issues. The RV sitting on those blocks in the picture is a 40’ Tiffin diesel pusher. My only issue is the dual wheel base for this big RV, is too wide to use the blocks perpendicular to the wheels, so I had to use 3 blocks parallel (see pics) for each wheel, which required me to purchase two sets. Most sites I setup up at fairly level, but this just provides that little extra height if needed.
