EDITORS COMMENTS
This map print, titled 'Map of Africa, North,' dates back to the year 1768, offering a fascinating glimpse into the geographical knowledge of the time. The map, published during the Age of Enlightenment, is a testament to the exploratory spirit and curiosity that characterized the era. The most prominent feature on this map is the 'Mountains of the Moon,' which separates the expansive Sahara and Sudan Deserts from the largely unknown territory to the south. This mountain range, shrouded in mystery and legend, has long intrigued cartographers and explorers alike. The Mountains of the Moon were believed to be the source of the Nile River, a belief that persisted until the late 19th century when the true source was discovered in modern-day Rwanda and Burundi. The map also highlights other notable geographical features, including the Nile River, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Red Sea. The northern coast of Africa is well-defined, with the major cities and regions clearly marked. However, the interior of the continent remains largely unexplored, with vast expanses of 'Terra Incognita,' or unknown territory. This map serves as a reminder of the incomplete understanding of the world that existed before the age of modern exploration and satellite imagery. It also underscores the importance of continued exploration and discovery, as new knowledge helps us expand our horizons and broaden our perspective of the world around us.
