Very fine, old colour, decorative map that was engraved by Antoine de Winter for the L'Afrique en plesieurs cartes nouvelles, et exactes …, published in Amsterdam by Joannes Ribbus.
This map of southern Africa was based on the work of the Italian Sanuti brothers and also from Blaeu in the Netherlands. Much of the interior is conjectural and Sanson shows more mythical detail than in some of his Africa maps. It was commonly depicted in the seventeenth century, and in this map, that the Zambere (Zambezi) and Spiritus Rivers flowed from a common source, which has its origin in the mythical Lake Zachaf.
Monomotapa is a direct translation of the African royal title Mwenemutapa meaning prince of the realm – it is represented today by Zimbabwe and adjacent territory, while Monoemugi was thought to be a forested area in today’s Zambia. The Dutch settlement at the Cape of Good Hope (1652) is not shown on this map.
Nicolas Sanson (1600-1667) sometimes called Nicolas Sanson d'Abbeville or Sanson d'Abbeville, was the most important French cartographer of the 17th century. Tooley called Sanson "the founder of the French school of cartography."
He began making maps in the late 1620s, and in the 1630s he was working with Melchior Tavernier. Later, Sanson worked in concert with the print publisher Pierre Mariette, with whom he published his great atlas: 'Cartes générales de toutes les parties du monde' (1658).
After Sanson's death in 1667, his son Guillaume carried on the business in partnership with Alexis Hubert Jaillot. Guillaume established himself as a very important French mapmaker in his own right.
