Ed, do you know a website where I can get that map from I did find a map before that sounds similar to that, sadly is was made in 1922, a year earlier and Egypt would still be in a lovely red. This miner detail was enough to stop me buying it I'm afraid.

I know that you can get one exactly like mine from http://www.oldalbiononline.co.uk/. This is from 1924.

Also, you can get a map from 1905 from www.amazon.co.uk... it's not quite so red, but it has funky pictures of all the peoples of the empire along the top and bottom: in the centre, a Scot and and Englishman either side of a shield emblazoned with the Jack, and all the subject peoples spread out to their left and right.

There was a 1919 map of the world for sale on e-bay which showed Egypt in red as part of a continuous unbroken strip of red stretching down to the Cape of Good Hope, when the Empire was at its maximum extent. This would have been ideal for you. If I had known earlier, I could have alerted you to it and you could have bought it. Unfortunately, it has sold. Go on to e-bay and type in British Empire and quite a lot of good stuff comes up. There are plenty of old atlases and maps from time to time. Check it periodically.

In the meantime, I suggest that you go to the Commonwealth History page on the FCS Canada site and download the 1920 map. You can then blow it up large on a large sheet of paper. That is the next best thing.
