Egiziano (Anglo-Egyptian Sudan), where Sudan is shown as an extension of Egypt proper, thus giving another clue to the date, as joint rule over Sudan began in 1899. The area at bottom left that is labeled Sudan corresponds to parts of present-day Sudan, South Sudan, Central African Republic, and Chad. The map covers the region from Tunisia on the west to the borders of Afghanistan on the east, and Switzerland on the north to Sudan and parts of Somalia on the south. Except for river courses and large lakes, few internal geologic or hydrographic features are shown. The scale is given in kilometers. Place-names are in Italian. The firm of G.B. Paravia specialized in educational publishing. The map was printed in color at the Salussolia press of Turin, one of several lithographers in the city, which printed books, banknotes, and advertising posters as well as maps. A note on the map indicates that it was loaned by the American Geographical Society to the Paris Peace Conference of 1918--19, convened to draw up peace treaties after World War I.
