Description |
Nederlands: Kaart van het continent Afrika uit de Atlas van der Hagen, Koninklijke Bibliotheek, Den Haag Deel 4.
Afgezien van de kustlijnen is deze kaart van Afrika nauwelijks betrouwbaar. Dat is niet alleen kenmerkend voor deze kaart van Nicolaas Visscher II (1649-1702), maar dat geldt voor de meeste kaarten van Afrika die tijdens de 17de en 18de eeuw werden gepubliceerd. Pas in de tweede helft van de 19de eeuw werden de Afrikaanse binnenlanden beetje voor beetje opengelegd.
English: Map of the continent of Africa taken from the Atlas van der Hagen, Koninklijke Bibliotheek, The Hague, Part 4.
This map of Africa is highly inaccurate, except for the coastline. This is characteristic of most of the maps of Africa published during the 17th and 18th centuries, and not only of this chart made by Nicolaas Visscher II (1649-1702). It was only in the latter half of the 19th century that the African hinterland gradually unlocked its secrets. |
