This 1800 map of the Cape of Good Hope is a compact engraved regional plan, presenting the broader geography of the Cape Peninsula and environs, including Table Bay with Robben Island, False Bay, the Cape of Good Hope, and the adjacent interior labelled the “Country of the Hottentots.” Issued in his Select Plans of the Principal Cities, Harbours, Forts etc. in the World, it prioritises coastlines, capes, bays, and navigational reference points over street-level detail, conveying the Cape’s strategic maritime setting during the first British occupation (1795–1803). Designed for merchants, naval readers, and an informed public, the plate’s clean, functional engraving situates the harbour and headlands within their wider coastal and inland context, underscoring the Cape’s role as a vital victualling and waypoint between the Atlantic and Indian Oceans at the turn of the 19th century.
This map is a reproduction of a historical map that is now in the public domain. It has been selected for its aesthetic appeal and historical interest and carefully restored and reproduced to preserve its original detail and character. There may be marks and visible fold lines which add to the authentic look. The map is printed on 230gsm heavyweight coated paper with a matte finish. Most old maps were printed on uncoated rag or wood pulp papers and therefore a matte finish best represents the original map.
