Description

This scholarly work by Elizabeth Sutton examines Pieter de Marees' Description and Historical Account of the Gold Kingdom of Guinea from 1602, applying art history and book history methodologies to understand how these influential prints shaped European perceptions of Africa. Sutton traces how variations of de Marees' images and text circulated through European travel collections and decorated maps, demonstrating how the interplay of visual and textual framing constructed knowledge about African peoples that persisted in subsequent European depictions. By analysing the engravings and their reproduction across multiple sources, the author reveals how early modern Dutch printmaking played a formative role in establishing lasting European frameworks for understanding and representing African cultures and geographies during the period 1400-1700.

Key Features

Focuses on Pieter de Marees' 1602 Guinea account as the primary historical source material for understanding early modern European prints.

Combines art history and book history approaches to analyse how text and image functioned together in shaping knowledge formation.

Traces the circulation and variation of de Marees' images across European travel collections and decorated maps over time.

Examines how early modern Dutch printmaking established frameworks for European depictions of African peoples and cultures.

Explores the Transculturalisms theme spanning the 1400-1700 period, situating prints within broader cross-cultural exchange.
