Africa

A fine example of Daniel Lizars' four-sheet map of Africa, an intriguing snapshot of the expanding frontiers of European knowledge during the early 19th century. Compiled around 1825, the map reveals the contours of the continent as they were understood by European cartographers of the period, a juxtaposition of extensive detail along the coasts and vast, intriguingly blank spaces in the interior.

(South Atlantic) Nieuwe Wassende Graadige Pas-kaart van de Kust van Guinea en Brasilia strekkende van Cap Verde tot de Cap de Bon-Esperance en Verders van Rio de Berbice tot Rio de la Plata. [New Increasing Latitude Sea Chart of the Coast of Guinea and Brazil stretching from Cape Verde to the Cape of Good Hope and Further from the Berbice River to the Rio de la Plata.]

A handsome example of this rare two-sheet sea chart of the Coasts of Brazil, West Africa, and South Africa, published by Johannes Van Keulen (the younger) around 1726. According to de Vries, Schilder, Bruyns, van Iterson, and Jacobs, in The Van Keulen Cartography, the chart was first published separately around 1726 and subsequently began appearing in atlases in 1728. It was printed until about 1755.
