-1782), the French geographer and cartographer. D'Anville reformed European cartography by rejecting plagiarism and unconfirmed cartography. D'Anville's maps often had blank spaces in places where earlier maps had been filled with figments of the imagination and features based on hearsay evidence.

Also included are legends, text describing Hottentot women, and a long account of the Dutch East India Company (Verenigde Ostindische Compagnie--VOC) at the Cape of Good Hope.

Map Sizing Information
- For the best legibility, order your map in the original size or larger. Most maps have intricate detail and small text that is best appreciated when the print size hasn't been reduced.
- Sizes labeled "Fits a Standard Frame" will drop right into any frame that you purchase in that size. The sizes that we offer are commonly available online and at most retail stores.
- Our standard sizes are recommendations based on the aspect ratio of the original map, but still may require some added "white space" in one dimension to fit.
- Non-standard sizes will require custom framing, and we suggest taking your print to the frame shop of your choice after you receive it for the best results.
- Custom sizes are available, simply contact us for a quote.
Below is an approximation of the scale of a few standard sizes, and how they might appear in your space.
