Title
Africa bis zur Eroberung durch dis Araber im VIIten Jahrhundert
Description
English: This is Karl von Spruner’s 1855 map of Africa up to the Arab conquests in the 7th century. Historical notes and dates appear throughout, except in southern Africa, which shows only rivers. This would make a nice companion piece to Plates 12 & 13, showing Africa between the 8th and 14th centuries, and again since the beginning of the 15th century. Relief is shown by hachures, and the finely engraved detail throughout exhibits the exquisite craftsmanship for which the Perthes firm is best known. Justus Perthes published the map as plate number 11 in Dr. Karl von Spruner's 1855 Historisch-Geographischer Hand-Atlas zur Geschichte Asiens, Africa’s, America’s und Australiens, also known as Histor. Atlas. Ausser Europa.
