antique map authentic
engraving intaglio from 1809 representing an antique map entitled: "Northern Africa". Formerly published in an atlas by malte-brun and drawn up by Lapie. Borders and geographical limits enhanced with colors. This is a Map of North Africa including regions such as the Sahara, the Mediterranean coast and part of sub-Saharan Africa. The engraving is broken down into a single Map with a decorative cartouche located at the top right framed by a plant garland. In 1809, the region mapped corresponds to northern Africa known at the time for its vast deserts such as the Sahara and for being an area of strategic interest between the colonizing European powers. The borders represented are those known before decolonization, thus reflecting the geographical knowledge and territorial divisions of the early 19th century.
