Description
Nederlands: Deze kaart van de Westafrikaanse Goudkust werd in 1635 door Willem Jansz. Blaeu (1571-1638). Blaeu slaagde er niet in om een betrouwbaar beeld van het gebied aan te bieden. Alleen de kust van Guinee is goed weergegeven, maar die streken werden dan ook sinds de 16de eeuw druk bezocht door Europese koopvaarders en avonturiers op zoek naar goud, slaven en ivoor die daar door lokale handelaren in overvloed werden aangeboden. Het binnenland werd door de Europeanen niet bezocht; die bleven tot diep in de 19de eeuw volledig onbekend terrein. Blaeu vulde die lege plekken op met afbeeldingen van leeuwen, olifanten en bavianen.
English: This map of the West-African Gold Coast was published in 1635 by Willem Jansz. Blaeu ( c. 1571-1638). Blaeu did not succeed in providing an accurate map of the area. The coast of Guinee is the only topographical detail that has been accurately represented, thanks to continuous visits from European traders and adventurers looking for gold, slaves and ivory sold by the local people since the 16th century. The inlands were not explored by the Europeans, these stayed "terra incognita" until far into the 19th century. Blaeu filled these unknown areas on the maps with pictures of elephants, lions and baboons.
