EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Nouae Africae delineatio" map, created in 1769 by Peter Conrad Monath. Hand-coloured and meticulously engraved, this masterpiece measures 30x26 cm and is housed in the prestigious Boston Public Library in Massachusetts, USA. The map takes us on a visual journey through the vast continent of Africa, offering a glimpse into its rich history and diverse landscapes. From North to South, it captures the essence of African culture with intricate details that depict various regions such as South Africa.
