About this Item

L S De La Rochette
The Dutch Colony of The Cape of Good Hope

London, 1795

second edition

The hand-coloured decorative and highly detailed map of Southern Africa and the Cape of Good Hope depicts the area from "Klipping Eyland" to "Caap Falso". A cartouche in the top right corner depicts a cliff bearing the title with palms, huts and an elephant in the foreground. One key identifies points on the mainland, and the other the islands and bays.
