Maps of Africa

Maps of Africa are highly detailed and unique forms of map art. For many audiences, maps of Africa are meant to ignite the exploratory spirit and encourage speculation on this majestic part of the world. Additionally, map and art enthusiasts are able to see the different aspects of Africa as it was explored, thanks to geographic prints that span from the country's founding until modern times.

Like many continental maps, maps of Africa are not only highly detailed depictions of a land mass, but also reminiscent of the culture and natural life that lives there. These works are more decorative in execution than some other examples of map art and are considered works of art in and of themselves. These works, such as 'Crackled Map of Africa' by Deborah Bookman and 'Journey to Africa I' by Tava Studios are only some of the types of creative map art available in this category.
