Title | Guinea |
Very nice map of the Gulf of Guinea with many animal staffages in the country as well as offshore sailing ships, two wind roses and a title cartouche with natives, pearls, monkeys and a parrot. At the bottom right, two sea turkeys carry an elephant's tusk. A coat of arms and a dedication cartouche at the bottom left explain that the map is dedicated to Dr Nicholas Tulp (1593-1674), a member of the Amsterdam government and famous anatomist. The dedication is not a mere compliment, but an ode to one of the most famous physicians of the seventeenth century. | |
