Description
Nederlands: Afgezien van de kustlijnen is deze kaart van Afrika nauwelijks betrouwbaar. Dat is niet alleen kenmerkend voor deze kaart van Nicolaes Visscher II (1649-1702), maar dat geldt voor alle andere 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.; Linksonder een opdracht van Nicolaes Visscher II aan Gerard Schaep.
English: Except for the shorelines on the map, this map of Africa is hardly accurate. This fact is not only a significant characteristic of this map by Nicolaes Visscher II (1649-1702), it is also the case for any other map of Africa published in the 17th and 18th centuries. The inlands of Africa were only explored in the second half of the 19th century.
