EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a hand-coloured engraving of the "Map of Africa" created by Cornelis Danckerts III in 1696. Measuring at an impressive 59x96 cm, this piece is part of a private collection and was printed in Amsterdam during the late seventeenth century. The map itself provides a detailed depiction of the African continent, with intricate cartography and navigational equipment featured throughout. The hand-colouring adds depth and vibrancy to the artwork, enhancing its visual appeal. This close-up shot allows us to appreciate the fine details and craftsmanship put into creating this historical map. The absence of people in the image emphasizes the focus on geography and ethnic origins rather than human presence. The inclusion of text further enriches our understanding of Africa's diverse regions, while capital letters highlight significant locations or landmarks. This engraving serves as both a valuable historical document and a work of art that captures Africa's geographical essence during the late seventeenth century. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured this photograph, preserving its authenticity for all to admire. As we delve into this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to witness how cartography played an essential role in shaping our understanding of different continents centuries ago.
