About This Item
London, Samuel Augustus Oddy, 1811. Copper engraving, 28.5 x 25 cm, original hand-colour, blank verso; the continent of Africa, published in Oddys New General Atlas of the World. The map features an inset of the Azores and Cape Verde islands. Much of the interior detail is highly speculative. James Wallis (fl. 1810-1825) was born in Southampton in 1784, the son of a bricklayer. Apprenticed to John Roper in 1799, he learned the art of engraving. In later life he is variously recorded as a commission and discount agent (imprisoned for debt in 1835), a stationer, and a dealer in beer and wine. Map
