The antique map ‘Nigritarvm Regio’ depicts the region of Nigeria in 1665. The Latin title translates to ‘Region of the Blacks’ and reflects the colonial mindset of the time. Nigeria at this time was a collection of various kingdoms and empires, including the Benin Empire and the Hausa States. The map shows the general shape and features of the land, including rivers and mountains, but does not provide detailed information about individual cities or towns. Nigeria is bordered by Congo (Kinshasa), Equatorial Guinea, and Congo (Brazzaville) and located centrally are Lagos, Kinshasa, and Accra. This map is a valuable historical artifact that provides insight into the early colonial period of Nigeria and the European perception of the African continent.

Giclée Print Feedback:
Absolutely stellar service! Whilst I was considering my purchase Callum was extremely helpful and friendly, taking the time to actually talk to me rather than keep to business – how refreshing and genuine! I made my purchase quite late in the evening and was surprised to receive notification that it had been dispatched the following day! Lo and behold, I received the print within 48 hours – a remarkably quick turnaround!
Certainly no need to worry about Christmas delivery times! As for the print I bought – perfect… exceptional quality, with fine detail captured without fault. It’s on nice thick paper and packaged with care. I’ll definitely be back for more – I’ve already eyed up my next one!
