Item Details
Description
  • Title: 1737 Homann/Haas Map of Africa -- Africa Secundum legitimas Projectionis Stereographica regulas et juxta recentissimas relationes et observation in subsidium vocatis qusque veterum Leonis Africani
  • Cartographer: J Homann/J Haas
  • Year / Place: 1737 Nurnberg
  • Map Dimension (in.): 18.4 X 21.9 in.

    This is an excellent double-page map of Africa. The latest cartographic knowledge was used by J Haas, a professor of mathematics at Wittenberg University, to create this map. he included the knowledge from an earlier Homann map as well as cartographic knowledge from De l'Isle and D'Anville. Thus, his map presents a fairly accurate picture without most of the fictitious lakes and rivers of previous cartography. It focuses on the known coastal regions of the continent, leaving the interiors blank or marked Terra Incognito. Egypt, Nubia and Abyssinia are shown as distinct entities, Lake Nyasa is shown as Lac Marawi, and the Congo is located. There is no notation for Lakes Tanganyika and Victoria. A striking feature of the map is the large uncolored title cartouche that is framed by elephant tusks. In the foreground is a scene of natives negotiating with European traders, surrounded by indigenous animals.
