Antique Map of Africa by Hondius and Jansson Postcard
Vintage illustration antique map of Africa by Hondius and Jansson, 1635. Africae nova Tabula.
This map is filled with fictitious rivers and mountains with the origin of the Nile conforming to the Ptolemaic tradition of twin lakes located below the equator. The Kingdom of Monomotapa fills the entire southern tip of Africa which is now shown as more rounded. The oceans have ships, flying fish and sea monsters, while elephants, lions, zebras, ostriches and other exotic animals are on land. The border includes insets with 10 sets of costumed figures, representing the indigenous peoples of Africa and six city views along the top. The cartouche features a clock with Roman numerals and a bell, the face of the clock is a skull surrounded by the rays of the sun

Exactly what I wanted, it is very difficult to acquire Vintage Australiana items. I am so please that I ordered 8 I will be using them for my scrap booking and Junk Journaling. Gorgeous, Zazzle produced and delivered exactly what I wanted.

Way better quality than I ever expected. I love the colours, font and quality of the card. I'm so pleased I found Zazzle as it is near impossible to purchase Vintage or Retro Australian memorabilia online. I chose this design when I purchased them. They are perfect for my projects. I was very specific about what I wanted. I know where to come now when I need to order similar items.

Perfect for the occasion I was using it for.
I was able to delete the lines so I could put in more wording.
Had an envelope so the address side wasn't necessary. Print quality and paper quality lovely.
