EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Congo. Angola. Cafres. Monoemugi. Monomotapa. Zanguebar & Madagascar, 1701" takes us on a visual journey through the diverse landscapes and cultures of Africa in the early 18th century. Created by Hermann Moll, a renowned German cartographer, this engraving offers a glimpse into the intricate art of mapping during that time. The image showcases an array of African regions including Congo, Angola, Cafres (Kaffirs), Monoemugi (Monomotapa), Zanguebar (Zanzibar), and Madagascar - each marked with precision and detail on the map. The viewer is transported to these distant lands where vibrant colors and intricate patterns come alive. As we explore this historical artifact from the New York Public Library's collection, we are reminded of Africa's rich history and cultural diversity that has shaped its identity over centuries. From the lush rainforests of Congo to the vast plains of Angola, every region depicted tells its own unique story. Moll's engraving not only serves as a geographical representation but also acts as a window into colonial exploration during this era. It invites us to ponder upon how these maps were used by explorers and traders navigating uncharted territories in search of new trade routes or resources. In essence, this print captures both artistic beauty and historical significance - reminding us that maps are not merely tools for navigation but also gateways to understanding our world's past
