EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a beautifully detailed map of the Cape Verde Islands, created by the English School in the 19th century. The vibrant colors and intricate lithography bring this historical piece to life, offering a glimpse into the world of cartography during that era. Originally featured in A Gazetteer of the World or Dictionary of Geographical Knowledge published by Fullarton in 1858, this map was part of an Admiralty Survey.
