Rare Antique Map of Southwestern Europe and West Africa by V.M. Coronelli, 1692
About the Item
Beautiful hand-colored example of the Southwestern Europe and West Africa globe gore from Coronelli's 42 inch Terrestrial Globe. The globe gore embraces France, Iberia and all of Africa west of a line running from Algeria down to the Bight of Benin, as well as the Canary Islands and Madeira. One of the most accurate and finely engraved cartographic depictions of its era, the coastline of Africa appears in well-formed detail. The interior, which was an almost complete enigma, is adorned with mythical mountain ranges and exotic animals such as giraffes, elephants, lions and strange giant birds. The Gambia River is erroneously shown to connect to the headwaters of the Niger River.
