Description

Rare 1766 re-issue of this separately published map of Africa by Paolo Petrini.

Petrini was active in Naples at the end of the 17th and 18th century. He drew primarily on the works of Nicolas Sanson for as his cartographic source.

Rarity

All Petrini maps are very rare.  However, this is the first time we have ever seen this 1766 edition of the map. Petrini's atlas is an extreme rarity -- no institutional examples are known to survive, according to Burden.

"Afrika", published by Velhagen & Klafing in Bielefeld and Leipzig in 1941, is an intriguing example of mid-20th-century European cartography, capturing the geopolitical landscape of Africa from a distinctly German perspective during a tumultuous time in world history. The map notably includes an inset comparison of the size of the German Reich, subtly revealing the cartographic projection of nationalistic sentiments and territorial ambitions of Nazi Germany.

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.
