No binding. Condition: Very Good. Original 1746 map of the Senegal River by Jacques-Nicolas Bellin, depicting the river from its mouth at the Atlantic Ocean to the edge of the Sahara Desert, including Saint-Louis, Île Saint-Louis, Île des Anglais, Barre du Sénégal, Bieurt, Buxar, Montauber, Bekio, the Grand Bras, and Petit Bras. This detailed chart illustrates one of the principal trade routes of French West Africa, connecting the Atlantic coast with the interior through the commerce of gum arabic, gold, ivory, and slaves, and remains an important document of eighteenth-century African cartography.Original engraving on laid paper, total size: 25 x 20 cm, in good condition. Good contrast. Wide margins.[NL] Deze originele gekleurde kopergravure toont de loop van de Senegalrivier vanaf haar monding in de Atlantische Oceaan tot diep landinwaarts richting de woestijn en werd omstreeks 1746 vervaardigd door de beroemde Franse hydrograaf Jacques-Nicolas Bellin (17031772). De kaart draagt de titel Cours de la Rivière de Sénégal depuis son Embouchure jusqu'au Désert en werd samengesteld uit de verslagen van Franse zeeofficieren, ontdekkingsreizigers en handelaren. Bellin was als Ingénieur Hydrographe de la Marine verantwoordelijk voor de officiële kaarten van de Franse marine en gold als een van de meest gezaghebbende cartografen van de achttiende eeuw. Afgebeeld: Senegalrivier, Saint-Louis, Île Saint-Louis, Île des Anglais, Barre du Sénégal, Atlantische Oceaan, Bieurt, Buxar, Montauber, Bekio, Petit Bras, Grand Bras, Sahara (Le Désert), Senegal, Mauritanië.De kaart geeft een uitzonderlijk gedetailleerde weergave van de benedenloop van de Senegalrivier, destijds een van de belangrijkste toegangsroutes tot het binnenland van West-Afrika. Bij de riviermonding zijn onder meer de Barre du Sénégal, de gevaarlijke zandbank voor de monding, Île Saint-Louis, Île des Anglais (Engelse Eiland) en de vestiging Bieurt (Bieurt) weergegeven. Verder stroomopwaarts vermeldt Bellin onder andere de districten Buxar, Montauber en Bekio, evenals talloze nederzettingen, rivierarmen en eilanden. Opvallend zijn de aanduidingen van Petit Bras en Grand Bras, de verschillende vertakkingen van de rivier, en de vele lokale plaatsnamen die tegenwoordig grotendeels verdwenen of gewijzigd zijn. Aan de oostzijde eindigt de kaart bij Le Désert, waarmee de overgang naar de Sahara wordt aangeduid.De Senegalrivier vormde eeuwenlang de economische levensader van Senegal en Mauritanië. Vanaf de vijftiende eeuw vestigden achtereenvolgens Portugal, Nederland, Frankrijk en Engeland handelsposten langs de rivier. Er werd gehandeld in Arabische gom, goud, ivoor, bijenwas, huiden en later ook in de trans-Atlantische slavenhandel. De Franse stad Saint-Louis, gesticht in 1659 op een eiland in de riviermonding, groeide uit tot het bestuurlijke centrum van Frans West-Afrika en was gedurende de achttiende eeuw het belangrijkste Franse handelsstation aan de West-Afrikaanse kust. …

Wide margins.[NL] Deze gekleurde kaart van de Canarische Eilanden werd in 1746 vervaardigd door de Franse hydrograaf en cartograaf Jacques-Nicolas Bellin (17031772), onder de titel Carte des Isles Canaries. De kaart is gebaseerd op scheepsjournalen van zeevaarders en werd gemaakt ten dienste van de Franse marine. Bellin gold als een van de belangrijkste maritieme cartografen van de achttiende eeuw. De kaart toont de volledige Canarische archipel met een grote mate van nauwkeurigheid voor die tijd. De kustlijnen, bergachtige landschappen, belangrijke nederzettingen en ankerplaatsen zijn zorgvuldig weergegeven. De karakteristieke kompasroos met uitwaaierende koerslijnen (rhumb lines) benadrukt dat het om een zeekaart voor de navigatie gaat, met decoratieve versierde cartouche. De afgebeelde eilanden zijn, in het Nederlands: Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Tenerife, La Gomera, La Palma en El Hierro (IJzereiland). Daarnaast is ook het kleine eiland Alegranza ten noorden van Lanzarote weergegeven. Op de kaart loopt bovendien de Ferro-meridiaan over El Hierro. Deze meridiaan gold eeuwenlang als het nulpunt van de lengtegraad voordat de Greenwich-meridiaan internationaal werd ingevoerd.…

This detailed nautical map illustrates one of the most strategic sections of the Mauritanian coast, a key centre for the trade in gum arabic, gold, ivory, and enslaved people, and an essential waypoint on the Atlantic routes between Europe and West Africa.Original engraving on laid paper, total size: 25 x 19 cm, in good condition. Good contrast. Wide margins, except for the margin at the bottom.[NL] Deze originele kopergravure toont een gedeelte van de Senegalrivier vanaf de rand van de Sahara tot Île de Morfil, inclusief het Lac du Panier Foulé (Pania Fuli). De kaart werd omstreeks 1746 vervaardigd door de Franse hydrograaf Jacques-Nicolas Bellin (17031772) en is, zoals de titel vermeldt, gebaseerd op de beschrijvingen van de Franse missionaris en reiziger Jean-Baptiste Labat (16631738). Bellin was als Ingénieur Hydrographe de la Marine verantwoordelijk voor de officiële kaarten van de Franse marine en combineerde de nieuwste geografische kennis met nautische nauwkeurigheid.De kaart volgt de Senegalrivier stroomopwaarts vanaf Le Désert tot Île de Morfil, een langgerekt eiland dat tegenwoordig nog altijd bestaat op de grens van Senegal en Mauritanië. Bellin geeft de rivierarmen, dorpen, handelsplaatsen en oversteekplaatsen nauwkeurig weer. Op de kaart zijn onder meer Île de Morfil, Lac du Panier Foulé, Dombo, Ender, Enghiognet, Ghemoy, Nairé, Nieye, Malles, Moha, Hakubart, Rouen, Ménage, Le Cocq en talrijke kleinere nederzettingen aangegeven.

Het omliggende gebied was rijk aan landbouw en veeteelt en speelde een belangrijke rol in de handel tussen de Sahara en de Atlantische kust. De rivier zelf vormde eeuwenlang de belangrijkste verbinding tussen de kust bij Saint-Louis en de handelsnetwerken van het Afrikaanse binnenland.…

De prent toont een plattegrond van Île Saint-Louis, de omgeving van Fort Saint-Joseph in Galam, en een gedetailleerde grondtekening van het fort zelf. Bellin vervaardigde deze kaarten als Ingénieur Hydrographe de la Marine op basis van militaire rapporten, hydrografische opmetingen en reisverslagen van Franse officieren en handelaren.Bovenaan staat Île Saint-Louis, het eiland waarop de stad Saint-Louis werd gesticht in 1659. De kaart toont de nederzetting, de fortificaties, vijvers, duinen en de beide rivierarmen van de Senegalrivier, namelijk de Grand Bras en de Petit Bras. Ook de Pointe de Barbarie, de smalle zandtong die de rivier van de Atlantische Oceaan scheidt, is duidelijk weergegeven.
