EDITORS COMMENTS

Africae Tabula Nova," or "New Map of Africa," is an exquisite and historically significant cartographic masterpiece created by the renowned Flemish cartographer Abraham Ortelius in 1572. This magnificent copper engraving, enhanced with delicate watercolor, is taken from Ortelius' groundbreaking atlas, "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" or "The Theatre of the World." Ortelius, a pioneer of modern cartography, meticulously compiled and produced this atlas, which is considered the first modern atlas and the precursor to the Mercator-Hollstein Atlas. The map showcases Africa in remarkable detail, with an impressive level of accuracy for its time. It reflects the latest geographical knowledge available, which was primarily derived from the accounts of travelers, explorers, and cartographers. The map is adorned with intricate decorative elements, including elaborate cartouches and ornate borders, which were characteristic of Ortelius' work. The map also features various annotations and inscriptions, including the names of African rivers, mountains, and cities. Some of these names are derived from ancient sources, while others represent the earliest European attempts to label the African landscape. This stunning piece of cartographic artistry not only represents a significant milestone in the history of cartography but also offers a fascinating glimpse into the geographical knowledge and exploratory spirit of the late Middle Ages. Today, it stands as a testament to the ingenuity and curiosity of the human mind and the enduring allure of the unexplored world. This particular print is part of a private collection, preserving its historical significance and beauty for future generations to marvel at and learn from. The intricate details, vibrant watercolors, and the meticulous craftsmanship of this map continue to captivate and inspire viewers, making it a true treasure of cartographic history.
