Samuel BoultonLondon: Robert Sayer, (1787) 1787Copperplate engraving, outline colour, paper watermarked Southern Africa: three vertical folds, offsetting, short tears at edge along folds, some frittering along bottom edge, 4cm narrow strip of loss in upper left corner margin; verso: foxing on one sheet, light tanning along edges, paint show through, '27' in ink Northern Africa: three vertical folds, offsetting, short tears at edge along folds; verso: pencil note, paint show through, '26' in inkboth approximately 53 by 122cmBoulton based these large wall maps on an earlier map by D'Anville, who attempted to include all the accurate scientific knowledge (contemporary and ancient) at the time, hence the large empty areas in the interior of the continent. Boulton enlarged and expanded the map, but followed DAnville precepts. He stated 'The inland parts of Africa being but very little known and the names of the regions and countries which fill that vast tract of land being for the greatest part placed by conjecture it may be judged how absurd are the divisions traced in some maps and why they are not followed in this.'The map also includes a great deal of text with two sections about Southern Africa. Particularly fascinating is the list of salaries of the Company (VOC) employees at the Cape.LITERATURENorwich #105(2)

It shows the large lake in central Africa, the Abyssinian province of Amhara is located in the kingdom of Monomotapa, and the information in southern Africa is mostly fantasy. It also includes the real and fictitious St Helena islands.LITERATURENorwich #80Tooley p.110

This map of the Cape of Good Hope is fairly accurate and an important feature is the inset of the Cape Peninsula with the names of farms and their owners. This provides valuable historical information about the expansion of the Cape before the retirement of governor Simon van der Stel.LITERATURECartwright, Maps of the South Western Cape of Good Hope, #3Norwich #214

Interestingly the southern point of Africa is narrower compared to the previous version. Betz speculates that because of similar geographic features, the Claesz-Langenes map may have been based on Al-Idrisi's map of the world. This was in The Book of Roger, written in Arabic and published in 1598 in Rome.LITERATUREBetz #56 (Claesz-Langenes map #37)Tooley p.26

The map was printed using a woodcut engraving, but an attempt was made to reproduce the appearance of a copperplate engraving. This was in response to the popular Ortelius atlas and, in fact, it closely follows his Africa map of 1570.LITERATUREBetz #21Norwich #14Tooley p.85

Sebastian Münster Basel: S Münster, (1540) 1552Woodblock engraving, centerfold, outline and decorative colour, tanning in margins, foxing; verso: Latin title on right hand sheet, tanning, foxing, paint show through, pencil notesfrom Cosmographia25,5 by 34,5cmMünster was the first map maker to publish separate maps of the continents in his encyclopedia Cosmographia. For his map of Africa he used ancient sources, but also the discoveries of Portuguese explorers. This increased the accuracy of the coast line, but for the interior Münster relied on Roman sources, which explains the inclusion of the one eyed man or Monoculi.As Jonathan Swift satirized in 1733: So geographers, in Afric maps With savage pictures fill their gaps And o'er uninhabitable downs Place elephants for want of townsThis is a rare unusual variant of Münster's Monoculi map. During printing the loose metal type set was inserted upside down. On the map there are three instances: QVIOLA, Regnü and part of Garamantes. Not only does this help in dating the map, but it also gives insight into the woodblock printing process used in the mid16th century.LITERATUREBetz #3 (Variant 8)Norwich #3Sebastian Münster, Accessed 26 January 2021,
