Description
his plate shows the Khoikhoi people of Southern Africa. Extremely rare in this edition. Copperplate engraving on a verge type hand laid paper with watermark. Original folds. Authenticity 100% guaranteed. Description: This plate originates from the very scarse: 'La galerie agreable du monde (.). Tome Troisieme d'Afrique.', published by P. van der Aa, Leyden, c. 1725.
This famous work was published in 66 parts and is the biggest print / map book ever published. Van der Aa incorporated plates by other publishers such as Blaeu, Visscher, de Wit, meurs, Halma, Mortier, Allard in this work and often added broad decorative borders. Probably the costliest and complete universal geographic work ever produced.
