Africa

Africa, a map engraved by Thomas Jefferys and released in London in 1750, captures a riveting perspective on the African continent during the mid-18th century. Detailed with both conjectural and factual geographical annotations, the map sheds light on the prevailing European understanding of Africa's vast expanse during this epoch. With its multitude of place names—both real and imagined—it provides a panoramic glimpse into the evolving cartographic knowledge of the time.
