James Wyld’s 1844 map of South Africa. The British mapmaker James Wyld
was one of the foremost cartographers of the 19th century and his map of South
Africa of which six subsequent editions were published provided a relatively
accurate picture of geographical knowledge at the time. Although some of these
maps are undated, it can be inferred from information on them that the second
edition must have been published pre-1848 and the third post-1854
