Product Description

The popularity of our other Blaeu reproductions led us to provide his equally impressive, rare map of Africa, first engraved in 1618. The continent is presented in lively color, with place names that recall the Arab invasion in the seventh century and the settlements of the Portuguese, Dutch, English, Danes, and French that began in the fifteenth century. The border panels at the top portray major cities, with famous personages right and left.
