This map contains a well known view of the Cape of Good Hope and Table Mountain from the sea. The sheet also contains a map of Table Bay & Robin Island on the bottom left and a map of the Dutch Fort at Cape Town on the bottom right. The view of the Cape of Good Hope labels each mountain peak and contains a legend to identify important points in the town. Dutch flags fly atop one mountain and at the Fort. Ships sailing between Europe and the East Indies are in the harbor. This map comes from de Fer's Atlas Curieux (Norwich). Tooley calls de Fer "a geographer, engraver, and published of considerable creative ability". Reference: Norwich map #211. Tooley, Map Collector's Guide to Africa, p. 45. Fine Condition. |
