EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable "Map of Africa showing its most recent discoveries with the Island of St. Helena" from Mitchell's new general atlas, dated back to 1863. Crafted by the American School in the 19th century, this color engraving is now housed at the New York Public Library in the USA. The map itself provides an intriguing glimpse into the world of cartography and navigation during that era. It depicts Africa's vast coastline, highlighting its most recent geographical findings and featuring an inset showcasing the Island of St. Helena. The attention to detail is evident as it illustrates various elements such as sea charts, hydrography, and maritime routes across both the Atlantic Ocean and Indian Ocean. As we explore this historical artifact further, we can observe significant landmarks like Arabia and Arabian Sea along with lesser-known regions within Africa's unknown interior. The Sahara Desert dominates a large portion of this continent while other notable lines on display include Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn, and Equator. This print not only serves as a visual representation but also offers valuable insights into exploration during that time period. It reminds us how far our understanding has come since then while honoring Samuel Augustus Mitchell for his contribution to cartography through his publication efforts.
