Beskrivning
"An Accurate Map of Africa Drawn from the Sieur Robert with Improvements"
This map of Africa presents an 18th-century European perspective, divided into classical regions such as Lower and Upper Ethiopia, Guinea, and Biafra. It is titled An Accurate Map of Africa Drawn from the Sieur Robert with Improvements, indicating that the engraving is based on the earlier cartographic work by the renowned French geographer Robert de Vaugondy, enhanced for British publication. The work is finely engraved and labels many ethnographic and geographic elements including tribal regions, trade hubs, and rivers.
George Rollos was a British engraver active in the 1760s, known for his detailed maps and contributions to atlases of the period. His engravings often accompanied important British geographical and travel publications of the mid-18th century, combining precision with stylistic elegance.
