Regna Congo et Angola (1676)

Lovely map covering the region of modern-day Gabon, Congo, Zaire and Angola. The map is based on Blaeu's map of 1662. It is embellished with six sailing ships, and wild animals roaming the interior. The large title cartouche includes several figures and animals. Published in the 1676 edition of Olfert Dapper´s "Naukeurige Beschrijvingen der Afrikaensche gewesten en Naukeurige beschrijvinge der Afrikaensche Eylanden", popularly known as ´Description of Africa´.

Olfert Dapper’s ‘Description of Africa’ was an ethnographic book which offered a detailed description of the parts of Africa known to Europeans in the mid-seventeenth century. Despite the work being regarded as one of the most important and detailed seventeenth-century publications on Africa, Dapper himself never actually visited the continent. Instead, he relied on the reports of Jesuit missionaries and Dutch explorers. The ‘Description of Africa’ was first published in 1668 by Jacob van Meurs in Amsterdam

Bella mappa conforme a quanto descritto. Tempi lunghi di consegna a causa del traffico e festività, fattiva collaborazione da parte del venditore nel monitorare e informare su tempi e cosegna.

Wij zijn zeer blij met het aangeschafte product. Lichte schade maar voor een gravure uit 1601 mag het een wonder heten dat de kwaliteit en kleur zo goed bewaard zijn gebleven. Mvr groet Peter van Dijk

Uncommon map indeed, very happy to have won the auction! Packaging fine, and fast. The actual map is darker in real life than it seemed in pictures or than mentioned in the description.
