EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled 'The World at the Beginning of the 20th Century Showing British Possessions,' was created by Artists Illustrators Ltd around the turn of the century for inclusion in Cassell's History of England, Volume IX, published by Cassell and Company, Limited. The map, depicted in a rich pink hue, illustrates the vast expanse of British territories across the continents of Asia, Africa, and the Americas, as they appeared at the dawn of the 20th century. Britain's dominion extended from the shores of Aden Yemen in Asia, to Cape Colony in Africa, and across the vast expanses of Australia and New Zealand. The map also highlights British possessions in India, known as Hindoostan, and Burma, as well as territories in Greenland and Canada.

The intricate detail and vibrant color of the map make it a visually stunning piece, perfect for display in a home or office. Whether used as a conversation starter or a source of historical knowledge, this map is sure to captivate and inspire anyone with an interest in history, geography, or the British Empire.
