John Ogilby, Africa (London, 1670) Encounters and Empires and when it is judgedJohn Ogilbys Africa (1670) is one of the most ambitious English language compilations on the continent in the seventeenth century. Drawing on Dutch and Portuguese sources, it presents geography, coastal descriptions, and illustrated views that reflect both the eras curiosity and the limitations of European knowledge at the time. With extensive engraved maps and plates, the volume is a landmark of early modern book production and geographic literature.
