EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning engraving from 1670 depicts a detailed Chart of Congo and Angola in Africa, created by the talented John Ogilby. The intricate map showcases the sea adorned with ships and the land decorated with various animals, providing a fascinating glimpse into the geography of these regions during the 17th century.
One of the most striking features of this print is the cartouche depicting Africans alongside a European trader, highlighting the complex interactions between different cultures and peoples at that time. The contrast between black and white in this engraving adds to its visual impact, drawing viewers into a world rich with history and exploration.
As you study this piece closely, you can almost imagine yourself sailing through these waters or traversing across these lands centuries ago. The attention to detail in Ogilby's work is truly remarkable, capturing not just geographical accuracy but also cultural nuances that make this map come alive.
Displayed at the National Maritime Museum in London, this Chart of Congo and Angola serves as both a historical artifact and a work of art. It invites us to reflect on our past while marveling at the skill and creativity of those who came before us.
