EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical geographic map of Guinee, meticulously crafted by the skilled cartographer Luis Teixera (or Teixeira) around 1586. The map provides an intricate depiction of the African continent, specifically focusing on the region of Guinee. At the top right corner of this remarkable piece, we are treated to a vibrant representation of a dance scene among indigenous Africans. This inclusion adds a touch of cultural richness and vitality to an otherwise informative map. It serves as a reminder that beyond its geographical features and population statistics, Africa is also home to diverse civilizations with their own unique traditions. Luis Teixera's mastery in cartography shines through this artwork, showcasing his attention to detail and dedication to accurately representing the land and its people. As we explore this image further, it becomes evident that it not only serves as a valuable resource for understanding Guinee's geography but also offers glimpses into the lives and customs of its inhabitants during that era. Preserved within private collections today, this photograph allows us access to an important piece of history while highlighting both the artistic talent behind it and Africa's rich heritage.
