Thanks, Michael.
I do recall sending a congratulatory
note to the West African female
designer, when the original map
came out. I shall try to trace it.

Gloria: I wonder if it was designed by Boston University African Studies Program in the late '70s to early '80s. It was the same Center that originated the map called "How Big Is Africa?" Sara Berry was there long ago when Bababra Brown was the Title VI Center Director. They may know something about it. Unfortunately, I don't have their contacts any longer. But your advice is great; if you don't attach your name to your own design, copyrighted and dated, it's in public domain and becomes a gift to the world. It's a book without an author!

Does anyone know who originally
designed the African fabric map?
It was posted on this list some years ago
by one of us. Now it is being appropriated by
a South Asian researcher who boldly claims
that she created the African fabric map.
I am trying to trace the original innovator.
My suggestion for all is that for any
design/map/chart, please insert your
name on the actual design along with
the copyright symbol, to preempt
intellectual theft.
