About this Item
Description:
AFRICA.South Europe Brazil.Gnomonic Projection.Mountains of Kong.SDUK 1844 map. Antique steel engraved map with original outline hand colouring (coloring); Engraved by J & C Walker (This map was originally published by Baldwin & Cradock in 1831; this date is printed on the map. This edition of the map published by Charles Knight in 1844). 31.0 x 28.5cm, 12.25 x 11.25 inches. Condition: Good. There is nothing printed on the reverse side, which is plain. Marked on this map are the Mountains of Kong, a non-existent mountain range charted on English maps of Africa from 1798 through the late 1880s. An early map resulting from exploration of the area and showing this west to east mountain range in 1798 was produced by English cartographer James Rennell. The mountains were thought to begin in West Africa near the highland source of the Niger River near Tembakounda in Guinea, then continue east to the also fictitious Central African Mountains of the Moon, thought to be where the White Nile rose. Cartographers stopped including the mountains on maps after French explorer Louis Gustave Binger established that the mountains were fictitious in his 1887-1889 expedition to chart the Niger River from its mouth in the Gulf of Guinea and through Côte d'Ivoire.
