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.

Africa

A fine example of Daniel Lizars' four-sheet map of Africa, an intriguing snapshot of the expanding frontiers of European knowledge during the early 19th century. Compiled around 1825, the map reveals the contours of the continent as they were understood by European cartographers of the period, a juxtaposition of extensive detail along the coasts and vast, intriguingly blank spaces in the interior.

Lloyd Triestino M.V. "Africa" M.V. "Europa"

This striking poster for Lloyd Triestino, attributed to the Italian graphic artist Patrone Giovanni (1904–1963), features the M.V. Africa and M.V. Europa, two of the line’s passenger vessels, set against a vibrant silhouette of the African continent. Giovanni, celebrated for his bold, modernist compositions, uses a warm yellow-to-red gradient within Africa’s shape to evoke the allure of tropical destinations and emphasize Lloyd Triestino’s extensive routes to the continent. The sleek illustration of the ships, with bold red lettering anchoring the "Lloyd Triestino" name, reflects Giovanni’s skill in creating compelling visuals that communicate both elegance and the spirit of mid-20th-century travel.

Africae, Described. The manners of their Habits and buildings newly done into English by I.S. . .

This striking map of Africa, published in London in 1626 by George Humble, is the earliest folio map of the continent produced domestically for an English audience. It was issued in John Speed’s A Prospect of the Most Famous Parts of the World and engraved by Abraham Goos, combining the most current Dutch cartography with Speed’s characteristically theatrical visual design. The result is a map as much a work of art as of geography.
