Title: 'The British Empire' Magazine Series
Post by: KevinH on 01 January 2012, 07:09:13 PM

Just came into possession of this set of magazines all bound in folders.  Some lovely articles and a nice collection of photographs, maps etc.

Heres a link to the British Library catalogue showing the main articles and features in each issue.

I'm hoping to scan and make into pdf files some of the articles with relevance to my current fancy of 19th Century southern Africa.

Heres a couple of pics just for fun

From 1972 I believe. I can't check the inside publisher info as the covers have been removed from the ones I have by whoever mounted them in the folders.
