Seller's Description


1747  A North Prospect of the Town and Fort of Kachao; Negros of Kachao and Bisao Preparing the Maniok Root


18th century engraving on laid paper. Sheet 10" H.

This engraving is divided into three sections: the top shows the Portuguese colony and town of Kachao in the Upper Guinea Coast region; the bottom two scenes show people grinding, cooking and growing manioc at Kachao and Bissau, which is a root vegetable of New World origin. Thomas Astley (d. 1759) was a British bookseller and publisher who never went to Africa. His imagined localities and illustrations of Africa were informed by a library of travel books at his disposal.
