Imagining Africa: European maps and what they tell us about their makers
Antique maps of Africa provide glimpses into the history of European exploration and expansion
into the continent as it unfolded over five hundred years or more. These maps' decorative and
cartographic elements provide insight into how Europeans viewed Africa and Africans from their
first tentative coastal explorations to expansive mercantile enterprises, missionary undertakings
and efforts at political and military control. The Map & Imagery Library and the Africana
Collection at the University of Florida George A. Smathers Libraries have selected a number of
cartographic treasures for this exhibit to highlight the scholarly research and teaching value of
this important collection.
This exhibit is a part of the
Triennial Symposium on African Art which runs from March 28 -
April 1, 2007.
