Description: Antique map of the Coast of Africa titled 'Kaart van de West Kust van Afrika (..)'. Map of the west coast of Africa, from 11 degrees south latitude to the Cape of Good Hope. This map originates from a Dutch edition of Prévost's 'Histoire générale des voyages'.
Artists and Engravers: Jakob van der Schley (1715-1779) was a Dutch draughtsman and engraver, who studied under Bernard Picart. Jacques-Nicolas Bellin (1703-1772) was a French hydrographer, geographer and member of The Philosophes. His career, spanning over 50 years, caused an enormous output in maps, particular of maritime interest.
