EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Map of Southern Africa" takes us back to the year 1522 when it was published in Strasbourg. Created by the renowned Ptolemy, also known as Claudius Ptolemaeus of Alexandria, this ancient map offers a fascinating glimpse into the geography and landmarks of Southern Africa during that era. The print showcases a stunning array of features and details. From majestic mountains and rolling hills to the iconic Cape of Good Hope, every element is meticulously illustrated with intricate precision. The artist's skillful hand brings forth an enchanting depiction of wildlife as well - elephants roam freely amidst the landscape while serpents slither through lush valleys. One cannot help but be captivated by the regal presence portrayed on this map. Latin inscriptions guide our exploration, revealing names of kings and thrones scattered across various regions. It serves as a testament to both historical significance and cultural diversity within Southern Africa. Preserved in Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this remarkable piece has stood the test of time. Its rich colors still evoke awe today just as they did centuries ago when it first graced its viewers' eyes.
