Description

Large 17th-century English map of Africa, with considerable detail in the interior and an attractive cartouche in the upper-right corner.

Berry's composite atlases are sometimes referred to as English Sanson atlases. In this case, his map of Africa is closely based on the 1674 Jaillot Africa (Betz 118), which in turn was based on the Guillaume Sanson Africa of 1668. Berry credits Sanson in the title.

Rarity

Betz (124) locates five examples of the map: Newberry Library, British Library, Royal Geographical Society, Stanford University (Norwich Collection), and Library of Congress.

The map is only known in one state.

Condition Description
Two sheets joined as one. Original outline hand-color. Loss with paper reinstatement and manuscript facsimile in the vicinity of eastern lake representing the source of the Nile, also in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Guinea. Some repaired worming around the centerfold.
Reference
Betz 124. Norwich 47.

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.

Africa, engraved by Herman Moll and published in London in 1695, is a significant representation of the African continent drawn from Moll's renowned Thesaurus Geographicus. With a discernible influence from the traditional Blaeu 1617 folio map, Moll, in this publication, opted for conservativeness over adopting the more recent French cartographic innovations. This is the second map of Africa ascribed to Herman Moll, following his collaborative effort with Moore in 1681.
