Africa

A finely engraved miniature map of Africa issued in 1616 in Petrus Bertius’s Tabularum Geographicarum Contractarum, one of the most important small-format atlases of the early 17th century. The map is attributed to Jodocus Hondius Jr., who engraved many of the atlas’s maps after Mercator and Ortelius models.

Karte von Afrika.

This richly colored, large-format German map of Africa captures the continent at a crucial and fleeting moment during the late 19th-century Scramble for Africa. Published by Carl Flemming of Glogau and cataloged as No. 38 in his General-Karten series, it was prepared by the respected cartographer Friedrich Handtke and later revised by O. Herkt. Although undated, internal cartographic and geopolitical evidence place the map squarely in a very narrow window between August 1888 and early 1889. It is an exceptional record of the fluid and often unstable boundaries that defined the colonial enterprise in this period, and especially of Germany’s brief flirtation with privatized empire in East Africa.
