EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite map titled "Africa" from the renowned Atlas de Toutes les Parties Connues du Globe Terrestre by Guillaume Raynal. Published in Geneva in 1780, this coloured engraving is a true masterpiece of cartography. The artist behind this remarkable work is Charles Marie Rigobert Bonne, whose attention to detail and artistic skill shine through every line and curve. The map offers a fascinating glimpse into the African continent during the 18th century, with its vast territories and diverse landscapes beautifully depicted. From the towering peaks of mountains to winding rivers that carve their way through lush forests, Africa's natural wonders are brought to life on this print. Notably, Madagascar takes center stage as a prominent feature on this map. Its unique shape and position highlight its significance within Africa's geography. As we explore further into the interior of the continent, we uncover intricate details that reveal both known and unknown territories at that time. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also holds historical value for those interested in studying Africa's past. It invites us to reflect upon how our understanding of this magnificent continent has evolved over centuries while appreciating the artistry involved in creating such masterful maps.
