80 €
Title: “XXI.”
Description:
Rare miniature map of Africa. Map engraved by Christiaan Andreas Sepp, he replaced the titles by numbers I-XXII in cartouches and all the other names were represented by symbols, upper and lower case letters or arabic and roman figures. Sepp produced a novel and entertaining method of teaching geography to children, by writing a chapter of questions and answers to go with the appropriate map. Each of these folded out in such a way as to be visible when the text was read.
This map comes from the atlas “Nieuwen Atlas der Jeugd.” published in Brussel in 1780 by Benoit Le Francq.
