Antique Map of Africa with Original Hand Coloring

About the Item

Antique map titled 'Kaart van Afrika door den Heer d'Anville'. Detailed original old map of Africa, with very small inset map titled 'Vlaamsche Eilanden', which shows the Azores. Published by I. Tirion, circa 1760. Tirion was born in Utrecht in 1705. He moved to Amsterdam in 1725 and set up shop on Damrak as a book publisher. Tirion quick rose in prominence by publishing pamphlets, historical works, and, most importantly, maps and atlases. He eventually relocated his printing house to the prestigious Kalverstraat. In his long career he produced eight atlases in multiple editions, some of which were published posthumously until about 1784. Most of his cartographic work is based on the earlier maps of Guillaume de L'Isle.
