Description
Nederlands: Op deze allegorische prent is het werelddeel Afrika afgebeeld. Deze prent van de graveur Johannes Visscher (1636-na 1696) is er een uit een serie van zes titelplaten ontworpen door Nicolaas Berchem (1620-1683). Het was oorspronkelijk de bedoeling dat deze titelplaat zou worden gebruikt voor de Atlas Maior van Joan Blaeu (1598-1673), maar in die wereldatlas komt deze plaat niet voor. Afdrukken van deze prent werden wel gebruikt in de atlassen van een collega van Blaeu, Pieter Mortier (1661-1711).
English: Johannes Visscher (1636- after 1696) engraved this allegorical print, representing the African continent. The print forms one of a series of six title pages designed by Nicolaas Berchem (1620-1683). This title page was meant to be used for Joan Blaeus (1598-1673) Atlas Maior, but the print was not published in that world atlas. Other prints of this page were used in atlases by a colleague of Blaeu: Pieter Mortier (1661-1711).
