EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite piece of cartographic art, "Africae tabvla nova, 1570" by Abraham Ortelius. The map, a vibrant colour engraving from the 16th century, takes us on a visual journey through the vast African continent and beyond. Ortelius' attention to detail is evident as he meticulously depicts the diverse landscapes and kingdoms that make up Africa. From the towering Atlas Mountains in the north to the lush forests of Central Africa and the arid deserts of the Sahara, this map offers a comprehensive view of Africa's geographical features. But it is not just landforms that capture our attention; sea battles and mythical sea monsters also adorn this remarkable artwork. These elements add an air of adventure and intrigue to Ortelius' creation, reminding us of both historical conflicts and ancient legends that have shaped African history. The presence of Madagascar off Africa's eastern coast further emphasizes its significance as an important trading hub during this period. This island paradise served as a gateway between continents, connecting cultures through commerce. Adorned with ornate cartouches displaying intricate designs, "Africae tabvla nova" stands not only as a testament to Ortelius' skill but also as a valuable historical artifact. Its rich imagery transports us back in time while highlighting Africa's immense beauty and cultural heritage. This stunning print invites viewers to explore centuries-old cartography while marveling at Africa's majestic landscapes and fascinating history.
