About the Item

This is an antique map depicting the coastal regions of West Africa, specifically the Gulf of Guinea and surrounding areas, including parts of what is now Senegal, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo, Benin, and Nigeria. The map is titled "Royaumes, États et Pays de la Haute Guinée," which translates to "Kingdoms, States, and Lands of Upper Guinea." Key Features of the Map: - Geographical Coverage: The map focuses on the coastline along the Gulf of Guinea, highlighting various regions such as "R.de Mandinga" (River of the Mandinka), "Côte des Graines" (Grain Coast), "Côte de l'Or" (Gold Coast), and "R.de Dahome" (Kingdom of Dahomey). - Detailing: The map includes numerous place names, coastal features, rivers, and the locations of different kingdoms and tribes. Important geographical markers, such as the Equator ("Ligne Équinoctiale"), are also noted. - Cartographer: The map is attributed to M. Bonne, Ingenieur-Hydrographe de la Marine, indicating that this map was produced by a hydrographer, in the service of the French navy, with a focus on coastal and marine geography. - Historical Context: This map dates from the late 18th century, a period of significant European exploration and colonization in Africa.
