EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving from 1622 offers a glimpse into the intricate and diverse coastline of Africa, specifically focusing on the River Gambia. The map, created by an anonymous French School artist in the 17th century, is now housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. The detailed print showcases various settlements and villages along the coast, providing a unique perspective of African life during this time period. From Senegal to Cherbe or Madre Bombe, every port and river is meticulously depicted with precision and accuracy. The birds-eye view offered by this engraving allows viewers to immerse themselves in the maritime world of Africa's coastal regions. As one explores this historic map, they can almost hear the sounds of bustling activity within each settlement as trade routes flourish along these shores. Not only does this print serve as a valuable historical document but it also highlights the artistic skill involved in creating such intricate engravings. Every stroke captures not just geographical features but also cultural nuances that define these African landscapes. With its vibrant colours and attention to detail, this Map of the Coast of Africa and the River Gambia transports us back to a time when exploration was at its peak. It stands as a testament to both human curiosity and artistic craftsmanship while offering us an invaluable window into our shared past.
